OPTIONAL PRACTICAL TRAINING (OPT)

There are two masters degree programs available but there is a difference in the ability to apply for OPT after graduation. See details below:

Data Science and Analytics Master of Science (DSA-MS)

• The DSA-MS program is recognized by Federal guidelines to allow for STEM qualified graduates with F-1 visa status to apply for an additional two year period of Optional Practical Training (OPT) in the United States, upon completion of the standard 12 month permit. 
• Therefore this is the recommended program for international students.

Multidisciplinary Studies Master of Science Data Science and Analytics Track

• The Multidisciplinary DSA track is NOT recognized by Federal guidelines as a STEM qualified Optional Practical Training (OPT) program, which allows graduates with F-1 visa status to apply for an additional two year period of OPT in the United States, but the DSA- MS program is.
