Are you an F-1 student looking for training or work experience for your degree? You may want to consider Optional Practical Training (OPT).

OPT allows you to receive 12 months of training towards your degree program before or after you graduate. If you have a STEM major, you may be eligible for an additional 24 months of OPT. OPT is a benefit granted to F-1 students who have been lawfully enrolled on a full-time basis for at least one academic year.

If you are interested in applying or would like to find out more information about OPT, including new application processes, please join us for one of the workshops below. All workshops will be in the ISS Multipurpose Room in the lower level of the Lucille Little Fine Arts Library.
