You will be placed in a school that matches your area of licensure and you'll be paired with experienced cooperating teachers in your host country. Your student teaching will be supervised by qualified student teaching supervisors from the University of Minnesota Morris, in consultation with the Minot State student teaching coordinator.

The length of your placement abroad will depend on your specific graduation/licensure requirements here at Minot State. The number of credits earned will be determined by the number of weeks of student teaching you complete in your host country.

Make sure to speak with the Minot State student teaching coordinator early! They must be involved in the planning process to be certain that you meet all Minot State requirements.

Placement is available for fall, spring and summer term (based on location), which will allow you to easily fit your student teaching into your Minot State course planning.

Placements are available in Australia, Ghana, Ireland, New Zealand, and Spain.

Tuition and fees will be paid directly to the UMN Morris, and a single study abroad fee of $50 will be paid to Minot State.

Refer to the Global Student Teaching website for additional program cost information.
