S2 Q&A If I've already used OPT/STEM OPT on my first master's, am I eligible for OPT again after a second master's? What about after a doctorate (DBA/PhD)?

 A second master’s degree does not reset or renew your OPT eligibility. If you have already used your OPT for a previous master’s degree, pursuing another master’s generally will not give you a new period of OPT. Moving to a doctoral-level program may provide a new OPT opportunity, depending on your eligibility.
