Overseas student teaching (OST) is a program in the University of Kentucky College of Education that is open to most teacher education majors!

If you are adventurous and academically strong, OST offers an opportunity to broaden your outlook on the world and expand future professional possibilities. Through this experience, you will gain greater sensitivity to other cultures, a more informed perspective on the United States’ role in the world, greater appreciation of your own cultural background, and increased self-confidence from having successfully dealt with new and challenging situations — qualities much needed among today’s teachers.

Students interested in applying for the program should indicate their interest approximately two semesters in advance of their final student teaching semester.
