NPU Work/Study Programs

Optional Practical Training (OPT)

Optional Practical Training (OPT) is work authorization available to international students who have been in valid F-1 status for at least two consecutive semesters and who plan to seek employment in the U.S. in their field of study. OPT is recommended by designated advisers at NPU, but final approval is granted by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS). For more specific information about OPT, please visit our OPT pages.
