What happens if a student does not find a practical training job?
We expect all our students to find a practical training job with a U.S. employer. This is a necessay part of our degree program. Our Placement Office works with students to help them find meaningful work. Students have up to eight months to find a job after on-campus studies. In some cases, intern positions at the University are available to students who have difficulty getting placed elsewhere. University intern students earn credit toward their tuition. While they work for the University they may continue to search for employment in the private sector. If a student returns home without working (and without paying the full University expenses) he or she does not graduate. In those few cases where it happened, it was due to personal or family reasons. It may be possible for such students to be reinstated to the program at a later time and return to the U.S. to complete their practical training and coursework.
