- MS in Information Systems Technology (MSIST)
Eligible graduates of these STEM master’s degrees may qualify for the 24-month STEM OPT extension, provided they meet the applicable U.S. immigration requirements and remain eligible for post-completion OPT. This makes these programs a popular choice for F-1 international students seeking extended work experience in the United States.
A job offer is not a general admission requirement for applying to Alliant University.
However, students requesting Curricular Practical Training (CPT) authorization must provide documentation of a qualifying practical training opportunity. In addition, Alliant’s MSDA, MSHA, and MSIST Executive Track programs require an approved practical training site before the program begins.
Applicants should confirm the specific admission and CPT requirements for their chosen program before enrolling.
According to Alliant University’s published MBA information, CPT processing generally takes 5–7 business days after the required forms receive academic advisor approval.
Yes, eligible students may hold multiple CPT positions under Alliant University’s program policies.
