The opportunities to work in the USA as an international student are very limited. In most cases the only options to work while attending Herzing University are: during the internship in your final semester for authorized Curricular Practical Training (CPT) and after graduation after applying for and getting approved for Optional Practical Training (OPT).

To enter the USA you will need a valid passport, visa and Form I-20. A visa does not guarantee entry into the United States. A visa only allows a foreign citizen to travel to a U.S. port-of-entry (generally an airport) and request permission to enter the United States. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials at the port-of-entry have authority to permit or deny admission to the United States.

International students on an F-1 visa are not permitted to enter the USA more than 30 days before the start date of their program as listed on their Form I-20
