Graduate Curricular Practical Training in Policy Analysis

Catalog description

The course is designed to foreign graduate students who will undertake paid internship opportunities off-campus, corresponding to the fulfilment of a Curricular Practical Training (CPT) requirement. The course is designed to make it possible for graduate students to advance professionally by interacting with entities outside the university and enrich their postgraduate experience in a way that is integrated with the curriculum. CPT corresponds to external employment like alternate work/study, internship, or any other type of required internship or practicum deemed complementary to the curricular training within the School. Per immigration regulation, CPT is available only prior to the completion of a degree program and must be processed by Visa Services only after a job offer is issued. CPT employment may not delay completion of the academic program. Instructor consent required.
