CPT EAD

Curricular Practical Training (CPT) allows you to gain practical work experience that is an integral part of their academic curriculum. Unlike OPT, which is often used for general career building, CPT is specifically designed to fulfill a learning objective while you are still pursuing your degree. CPT authorizes off-campus employment that is curricular in nature, meaning it is a required or credit-bearing part of your specific degree program. It ensures that your work experience is treated as an extension of your classroom learning rather than just a separate job.
