General information About the school
- Extensive STEM-Designated Programs (3-Year Work Authorization) : Clarkson is heavily focused on STEM, not just in engineering but also in business. This is crucial for international students on F-1 visas because graduates of STEM-designated programs are eligible for a 24-month extension on their Optional Practical Training (OPT).
- Automatic Consideration for International Merit Scholarships
- Unlike many U.S. universities that require separate scholarship applications or reserve aid only for domestic students, Clarkson simplifies this for international applicants, All international applicants are automatically considered for merit-based scholarships during the admission review process. No separate application is required.
- 97% Career Placement Rate & High Starting Salaries : Clarkson is known for its high Return on Investment (ROI), a critical metric for international students investing in a U.S. education.
- The International Center at Clarkson provides specialized support that goes beyond general advising, including handling the issuance of I-20s (for F-1 visas) and DS-2019s (for J-1 visas) and guiding you through the 'Certificate of Finance' process.
