CPT is Curricular Practical Training. All MSW students with F-1 status must have required CPT authorization prior to starting field. Because field placements are required for MSW students, the CPT process for MSW students is different from the non-required CPT application process. CPT application instructions and information are emailed to MSW students with F-1 status before the start of each term.
For details on the CPT process for MSW students, please visit the Incoming Field International Student webpage.
For more information about CPT, please visit the U-M International Center's Curriculuar Practical Training (CPT) for F-1 Students webpage.
