Tips for Using This Tool

1International student percentage shows the proportion of a school's enrollment that is international. Contact schools directly for details about their student support services.
2Check STEM program availability at each school — graduating from a STEM-designated program qualifies you for the 24-month STEM OPT extension.
3Don't overlook smaller schools — they may have lower tuition, higher acceptance rates, and more personalized attention for international students.
4Verify the school's SEVP certification is current — in rare cases, schools can lose certification.
