CPT at Faulkner University

CPT Availability

Faulkner University authorizes Curricular Practical Training (CPT) for eligible F1 students from the very first day of enrollment. This allows students to begin gaining U.S. work experience immediately while completing their degree requirements.

Hybrid Academic Format

The program is designed to be compatible with full-time employment. Onsite attendance is required one weekend per semester, with the remainder of coursework completed online or asynchronously — allowing students to maintain CPT authorization without interrupting their work schedule.

CPT at FU is fully integrated into the curriculum. Students complete coursework that directly relates to their internship or employment position, and CPT is renewed each semester as long as the student maintains satisfactory academic progress and continues enrollment.

F1 students on CPT at FU must maintain full-time enrollment, keep their I-20 updated, and ensure their CPT authorization is renewed before each semester. CPTGuru advisors are available to guide you through every step of this process.
