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

The Office of Career Development and the International Student Advisor provide dedicated support for Optional Practical Training (OPT) applications, which allow international graduates to work in their field of study in the U.S. for up to 12 months (or 36 months for STEM-designated degrees).

What is OPT and am I eligible?

OPT (Optional Practical Training) is a temporary employment authorization for F-1 visa students directly related to their major area of study. Eligible students can apply to work in the U.S. for up to 12 months after completing their academic program.

Does a degree from Centenary University help in getting a post-study work visa?

While a job offer from a U.S. employer is the primary factor for work visa sponsorship (like an H-1B), a degree from our accredited U.S. institution makes you a more competitive candidate. Our Career Development office helps you connect with employers who may sponsor visas.
