International F-1 students in the United States have some rules about working on and off campus. Many students enjoy looking for internships and jobs at their university to build their skills and prepare for future jobs. It's also a great idea to get support from career services and attend job fairs, as these can help you discover exciting job opportunities.
We encourage students to pursue eligible employment opportunities that allow them to apply classroom knowledge in practical settings. However, it's essential that international students consult their International Student Advisor (DSO) before accepting any employment. Your DSO will verify eligibility, explain any relevant restrictions, and guide you through the authorization process if needed.
