Experiential Learning/Internship

Course Description

International students here on an F visa who have taken two semesters of full-time coursework in the master of financial analysis (M.Fin.A.) program may take Curricular Practical Training (CPT). Given that we are a two-semester program, CPT will be rare. Students who have met the requirements wanting a practical experience can search for a sponsoring employer, who is willing to engage the students and is willing to enter a cooperative agreement with the school. Eligible students can be either paid or unpaid through CPT. Since CPT is not conventional employment, but rather an integral part of an established curriculum, it is for the M.Fin.A. program director to decide if a job offer qualifies for CPT and how many semesters/sessions a student may be approved to participate in a CPT program for his or her curriculum. CPT must be an integral part of an established curriculum, and is defined to be alternative work/study, internship, cooperative education, or any other type of required internship or practicum that is offered. Office of International Student Services (OISS) staff is required by law to certify under penalty of perjury the student's eligibility for employment authorization in SEVIS in order to approve the student to engage in CPT.
