Scholarships
Financial aid is not available to International students. There are limited scholarships available through International Student Services after the first year of study. The Office of International Studies and Programs offers partial tuition waivers to students whose cumulative GPA is above average.
Maintaining F-1 Visa Status
Graduate students in the Master of Science in Computational Science program are considered full-time if taking at least 10 credits per quarter. U.S. immigration regulations require F-1 international students to register for and complete a full course load (minimum 10 credits) each quarter. An exception to the full-time requirement can be made in their final quarter, in which they may be considered full-time if enrolled in 2 credits for research or thesis and as long as all other coursework has been completed and the proposal has been defended.
Curricular Practical Training and Optional Practical Training
International students, on a F1 student visa, will need departmental approval prior to being authorized for Curricular Practical Training (CPT). CPT will be accepted only for the Summer Quarters and for one of the Fall/Winter/Spring quarters of the second year, for a single employer. The necessary information and signatures will be obtained by completion of the “learning agreement” which can be downloaded from the Career Services website.
