In today’s increasingly global economy, international students educated in the U.S. are a valuable part of the talent pool that universities provide to employers. International students bring unique characteristics to their professions including adaptability, cross-cultural competencies, ability to speak other languages, and global perspectives.

In order to work in the U.S. after completing their program of study, international students need employment authorization. Optional Practical Training (OPT) for F-1 international students is temporary employment authorization directly related to the student’s major field of study. Students are eligible for up to 12 months of OPT employment authorization per higher degree level earned in the U.S. However, for students majoring in STEM Fields (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), OPT employment authorization may be extended for an additional 24 months. During the fall semester 2018, 708 F-1 international students were authorized to work in the U.S. on Optional Practical Training.
