What is the Global MBA/MS Career Conference and how do I participate? |
A. |
The Global MBA/MS Career Conference takes place once a year in the fall and is available only to foreign national students.

What is the difference between an internship and a co-op position? |
| |
A co-op position involves close to two years of work experience during your academic career. You are required to rotate between a forty hour week semester and a full-time student semester in order to complete a co-op. Most co-op opportunities are for undergraduate students. International graduate students and alumni interested in gaining relevant work experience should consider an internship for a short term, project-oriented assignment. |

Q. |
Why is it so difficult for international students to find companies to sponsor them in the U.S.? |
A. |
The job search for international students often can be much more challenging than that for domestic students. This situation arises because of a different recruiting and employment environment than in one's home country and from the limited number of employers in the U.S. who will hire international students for positions with their firms. |
