Career Resources for International Students
Transitioning to the U.S. and job-hunting as an international student can be difficult, especially when understanding the differences in cultural and employment norms across cultures.
University Career Services works collaboratively with the International Students and Scholars Services (ISSSO) and the Office of Multicultural Affairs (OMA) to support international students. We encourage you to build relationships with people at each office to learn about our services and resources and to understand how your visa status influences your career search.
Terminology Defined: Curricular Practical Training (CPT) and Optional Practical Training (OPT)
