Education from a top-rank university

What our students are saying

I really enjoyed the online masters and computer science program. I would highly recommend it to anyone who’s looking for a masters degree in computer science.I love being around planes and I love computers and programming. I found the best of both worlds working with an engineering consulting company that specialises in aerospace.

Matt B

Colorado State University
As an international student coming from a non-CS background, I found the MS program to be very useful in making the transition to AI/NLP-centric CS research, a field which is getting more competitive by the day. This was made possible by a very knowledgeable and helpful set of professors that we got to learn from.

Abhijnan N.

Colorado State University
As an Indian beginning my first year at Colorado State University's Master of Computer Science program, I'm quite pleased with the quality of instruction here. The courses ensure that we fully comprehend computer science by covering both the fundamentals and the most recent developments.

Can Students work during their studies in the US?
Plus

Yes, international students on an F-1 visa can work up to 20 hours per week on-campus during the academic semesters. On-campus jobs are competitive, not guaranteed, and typically are not professional-level positions. After receiving admission, students can view campus job openings on the online job board to apply.  Students may not work off campus, unless they receive a special authorization from USCIS called CPT (Curricular Practical Training)

What are STEM and OPT?
Plus

STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. Students studying in a STEM-designated program can apply for Optional Practical Training (OPT), allowing them to work for 12 months in the US after completing the degree program. The STEM designation of the CSU CS makes students eligible for an additional 24-month STEM OPT extension. With up to 36 months more time to work and network in the US, international students can build valuable professional skills and contacts to help them with their career endeavors.
