It is a truly exciting and memorable experience for both students and teacher.
Exchange By participating in International Student Teaching Program, you make it possible for a teacher from your host country to attend NMSU in exchange. These exchanges further the mission of the ISTP by promoting the flow of ideas and information across international borders, improving relations and building bridges for future cooperation.
