国际学生
BULA很荣幸能接待来自世界各地的学生。 事实上,我们平均有25%的学生持有F1签证。
虽然国际学生可以获得与美国国内学生相同的资源,但国际学生应该熟悉一些额外的挑战和流程,以便为BULA的经历做好充分的准备。
实习
与其他一些海外留学网站不同,洛杉矶的实习被视为一种职业机会,而非学术机会。 正因为如此,在洛杉矶实习的竞争非常激烈,学生们必须申请很多职位,才能在这些公司的一小部分得到面试机会。
对于工作经验有限的学生来说,寻找实习机会的过程可能会面临额外的挑战。 Students should take advantage of our 应用程序资源 and check-in with BULA staff with any concerns about resumes, cover letters, and the kind of internships available. It’s important to remain open-minded and realistic about your internship search process.
在秋季和春季学期来洛杉矶的国际学生每周最多只能实习20个小时。 BULA暑期项目学生的实习时间不受限制。
课程实践训练(cpt)
All international students must apply for CPT 后 receiving an internship offer and 之前 starting to work. Read through the CPT申请流程 carefully and check-in with ISSO or BULA staff if you have any questions.
社会保障
Students with 支付 internships must have a Social Security Number (SSN) in order to work. If you have had any previous 支付 employment in the United States (including on-campus) then you should already have a SSN. 如果你还没有SSN,那么你需要在你接受实习并申请CPT之后申请一个。 This process can take several weeks, so you’ll want to get started on it as quickly as possible. Read through the process for applying for SSN 在这里.
可选实践训练(可选)
毕业的国际学生在完成学位后有资格在美国获得一段时间的工作许可。 OPT直接通过ISSO协调,因此鼓励学生与波士顿的ISSO预约,讨论OPT申请过程。
