Practical
Training is a program for students to gain valuable experience by working
in their field of study outside the college. The visa status remains
F-1 with a special authorization to work. There are two types of Practical
training available at this time.
- Practical Training Prior to Completion of Studies - defines as working during the annual school vacation, most likely in the summer months. Although students may also apply during the January Interterm. Permission is granted by the USCIS.
- Practical Training After Completion of Studies - defined as working after the completion of a degree program, i.e. A.B, M.A, or PhD. Permission is granted by the USCIS.
To
obtain permission, a student must have been in a F-1 student status for
at least nine months (First year undergraduate and graduate students will
be eligible in June of their first summer).
The process of obtaining permission for Practical training is complicated and is determined on an individual basis. The Office for International Students has all the forms and information pertaining to this program.
