Day 1 CPT universities in the MidWest

There are fewer options for those who live in the Midwest. If you are interested in day 1 CPT programs, we recommend day 1 CPT universities located in the South or the Northwest. These programs often use a hybrid teaching method that requires only one in-person attendance per semester. If you're open to commuting to nearby states, there are more options available to you.

In the midwest, both Trine University and Ottawa University provide Day 1 CPT programs, which offer international students a great opportunity to gain practical work experience. Trine University is renowned for its affordability and has garnered a notable reputation among the international student community. Additionally, students from the surrounding region may opt to attend DBU in Texas or Monroe College located in proximity to New York City, where the on-site attendance requirements are manageable.
