Monroe University Low- Residency Programs Open for Enrollment

Written by CPTDog | Sep 16, 2025 11:00:00 PM

Are you an international student eager to kickstart your academic and professional journey in the U.S.? Monroe University is now accepting applications for its Fall intake and this is your chance to join one of the most dynamic universities near New York City while gaining valuable work experience from day one.

Why Monroe University Stands Out

Monroe has earned a reputation among international students for offering programs that balance academic rigor with flexibility and career opportunities. Its low-residency model means the program is a blend of once per month on campus study and real life internship learning. International students will be able to apply for Curricular Practical Training (CPT) from the first day of the program and authorized for full-time job while finishing their academic program, giving you a head start in building your career alongside your studies.

Here’s why Monroe is an excellent choice for Fall 2025:

📍 Prime Location: Located in New Rochelle, just outside of NYC, Monroe places you in the heart of one of the world’s largest job markets.

🎓 STEM & Business Focus: Whether you’re eyeing data science, computer science, healthcare, or management, Monroe’s programs align with today’s most in-demand fields.

🗓️ Weekend Hybrid Format: With Saturday/Sunday on-site sessions, Monroe’s hybrid programs make it easier to balance work and study.

✅ F-1 Friendly: The programs are specifically designed for international students, ensuring compliance while maximizing opportunities.
