About Northeastern University

Northeastern is a global research university with a prestigious R1 ranking, and is renowned for its experiential approach to learning.

Post-study work information

Optional Practical Training (OPT). OPT and STEM OPT eligibility depend on maintaining F-1 status and on the program. A program counts as STEM only when its CIP code is on the official STEM list — not because its name sounds technical. Eligibility is checked for each program — see the program page.
