Curricular Practical Training (CPT)

F-1 students may accept employment as a part of their Curricular Practical Training (CPT) program. The CPT must be an integral part of the student's educational program and may be any type of required practical training program offered by the sponsoring employer through a cooperative agreement with the school.

M-1 students may only accept practical training employment after completing their studies (Post-Completion OPT), and the period of their practical training will be limited to six (6) months.
