🧭 CPT Policy at Concordia University Texas

Concordia University Texas follows all ICE, USCIS, SEVP, and DHS guidelines to provide Curricular Practical Training (CPT) for eligible international students. With Day 1 CPT, you can start authorized practical training as soon as your program begins, and your CPT approval is renewed each term.

All MBA students—domestic and international—must complete practical training as part of their degree. For international students, this means CPT is integrated directly into your degree path, with no separate CPT course required.

To receive CPT authorization, you’ll need a job offer related to your field of study. Concordia University offers two types of CPT:

Part-Time CPT: Work up to 20 hours per week
Full-Time CPT: Work more than 20 hours per week

Please note: If you use Full-Time CPT for more than 12 months, you will become ineligible for OPT after graduation.

If you have more questions about CPT at Concordia University Texas, please contact us immediately!

Concordia University Texas uses a semester-based academic calendar for its MBA programs, with three semesters- Fall, Spring, and Summer - each lasting a total of 16 weeks. International students must enroll in at least two courses each semester: one online course for flexible learning and one hybrid course that includes required on-site sessions. This structure supports a balance between your studies and professional goals.

Onsite Frequency:

F-1 students must attend one in-person residency weekends per semester, each totaling 20 hours (From Friday to Sunday.)

Onsite attendance is mandatory, and failure to attend may result in termination of F-1 student status.

The Concordia Texas MBA is offered in the Professional Edge format, a hybrid delivery model designed for working adults. The program combines asynchronous online coursework with one required on-campus residency weekend each semester. Students complete all credit hours over 20–24 months and engage in applied learning experiences that emphasize ethical leadership and practical business skills.

Reminder

The term “Day 1 CPT universities” generally refers to institutions that allow eligible students to apply for Curricular Practical Training (CPT) beginning in their first semester of study, provided that the program includes an integrated practical component. While some schools may support early CPT access, approval is not guaranteed on the first day and depends on the timely and accurate submission of required documentation. CPT authorization typically takes 5 to 15 business days after the complete application is submitted and reviewed.
