STEM-Designated Graduate Programs: Gain Valuable Work Experience

Robust student affairs and networking opportunities are designed to help you adjust and thrive, while a school focus on your career development offers a pathway to U.S. work experience.

Full-time international students with F-1 immigration status are eligible for work authorization through federal Optional Practical Training (OPT) or Curricular Practical Training (CPT) benefits that lead to work experience directly related to academic areas of study.

Additional employment opportunities include internships and Cooperative Education.

Our International Student and Scholars (ISSS) office has all of the information you need to make Stevens your new home away from home!

Federal regulations governing Optional Practical Training (OPT) and Curricular Practical Training (CPT) are subject to change. While Stevens is dedicated to assisting students with these programs, final eligibility and work authorization are determined solely by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) in accordance with applicable federal laws. Prospective and current students are encouraged to regularly consult International Student and Scholars Services and official USCIS resources for the most up-to-date information.
