What support does BW offer for international students seeking to work in the US after graduation?

The International Student Services Office provides comprehensive advising on Optional Practical Training (OPT), which allows students on an F-1 visa to work in their field of study for up to 12 months (or 36 months for STEM degrees) after completing their program.

Can I stay in the US after my OPT ends?

Staying beyond the OPT period typically requires an employer to sponsor you for a work visa, such as an H-1B. The career services and international advisors can provide guidance on this process, but securing sponsorship is the responsibility of the student and employer.

Does BW's curriculum help in meeting the requirements for a post-study work visa?

While the curriculum itself is designed for academic and career readiness, the practical experience gained through BW's required internships and co-ops is incredibly valuable for building a resume and securing a job offer, which is the critical first step for visa sponsorship.
