What is the period of OPT for international students in AI programs?
The period of Optional Practical Training (OPT) for international students in AI programs at Yeshiva University typically includes an initial 12-month period of post-completion OPT, allowing students to work in the U.S. after completing their academic program. Students may also be eligible for a 24-month STEM OPT extension if their degree program is in a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) field, such as artificial intelligence. This extension provides students with additional time to gain practical work experience in the U.S. and further their professional development in AI-related positions.
