OPT - Optional Practical Training
OPT provides international students with the opportunity to work off-campus in fields related to their major for up to 12 months (36 months for STEM students). It serves as an excellent pathway to enter the US job market. Gaining internship experiences not only enhances your chances of being hired but also provides financial support to assist with the high tuition fees associated with studying in the US.
