Earn While You Learn
Our unique work-study program
Stevens-Henager's work-study program is an academic opportunity, not an employment opportunity. Our cooperative work-study program is designed to help Master's students apply their classroom knowledge to "hands-on" practical work experiences in the United States.
The legal description for paid employment while earning a Master's degree is Curricular Practical Training (CPT), and is authorized by the Department of Homeland Security for F-1 international students. You can work up to 40 hours per week, earn the same wages as those paid to American workers, and use the money to pay for tuition, fees, living and personal expenses.
Our Career Services department will assist you in finding employment following your first month of study. Also, classes are offered at flexible hours, including evenings to accommodate your work schedule. The work-study program takes 15 months to complete. But, prerequisite courses may extend your completion time by 1 to 6 additional months.
