Day 1 CPT Dos & Don'ts

Day 1 CPT Policy

New England College provides a low on-site frequency option (one visit/semester) for executive programs. 

The school requires students to intern or work from the first day of school while studying online and onsite courses, putting the theoretical knowledge they learned into real-world practice.

Therefore, international students can get their CPT (Curricular Practical Training) from Day 1 of the program. Students who work with CPT need to maintain their GPA above 3.0.

At NEC, internships are academic, for-credit experiences involving an agreement between an employer, a faculty sponsor, and a student. The three parties involved will create a structured experience at an employment site where the student will provide the employer with their work, talent, and energy while gaining knowledge and experience in a particular field.

Internships may be paid or unpaid and may be in private, non-profit, or government organizations.

  • New England College’s academic schedule is divided into three semesters: Fall, Spring, and Summer.

  • In addition, the master's program at New England College provides students with two-term options in a quarter, allowing them to select one Term each semester (either Term I or Term II).

To complete the Day-1 CPT program, students must engage in online work during the semester and attend a three-day onsite course session each semester.

*Students are required to renew CPT every semester.
