How this list is ranked

How CPT works
CPT is curricular practical training authorized by an F-1 student's school, not the employer. The school's DSO authorizes it as an integral part of the curriculum, typically an internship or co-op, and the employer only provides an offer letter. Twelve or more months of full-time CPT eliminates OPT eligibility, so check the terms with your DSO first.

Which companies offer the most CPT jobs?
University of Central Oklahoma has the most, with 24 live CPT jobs on Migrate Mate, followed by Penn State University (17) and IDEA Public Schools (17). Across the 10 education employers on this list, Migrate Mate is tracking 129 live CPT jobs, updated daily.
Who is eligible for CPT?
F-1 students in good standing who have completed at least one full academic year are eligible for CPT. The training must be an integral part of an established curriculum, such as a required internship, cooperative education program, or practicum. Your Designated School Official, not the employer, authorizes CPT by endorsing your I-20. Students who use twelve or more months of full-time CPT lose eligibility for Optional Practical Training.
How much does F-1 CPT cost?
F-1 CPT is student work authorization, so there is no employer sponsorship fee. The student pays the USCIS filing fee for the work-authorization application, plus any costs their school charges. Fee amounts change from time to time, so check the current figure before you rely on it.
How do I get CPT through a top employer?
To secure CPT through one of these employers, first obtain a written offer letter from the employer describing the position, start date, and work schedule. Bring that letter to your school's international student office and request CPT authorization from your Designated School Official, who endorses your I-20 for the specific employer and dates. CPT authorization must be in place before your start date. The employer does not file anything with the government, authorization is entirely school-managed.
