04Tuition, fees and scholarships
Additional fees
The full fee schedule (I-20 fee, recurring semester fees, CPT course fees) is not published yet. Beyond H1B sources every institution field from the school's admissions office, DSO or published catalog, so this section stays empty until it is verified and dated.
Scholarships
Beyond H1B Rewards - $50 - $1,000+
Partner-routed awards for eligible applicants; contact Beyond H1B to confirm current terms.
05Format and attendance
Annual travel burden: about 3 round trips a year, roughly $600 - $1,500 per year. Travel is often larger than the tuition gap between two schools, so we compute it rather than leaving you to.
06CPT policy
Current F-1 and OPT students, overseas applicants, and change-of-status applicants may obtain CPT authorization from day one of the program. CPT must be renewed every semester and is required for graduation. The practicum/CPT experience is an integral part of the Applied MBA programs and participation is required. CPT is authorized from day one for the duration of the two-year program with no gaps or breaks.
Integral CPT is only lawful when the employment is a required, credit-bearing part of your program of study, authorized on your I-20 by the DSO, and matched by continuous full-time enrollment. Twelve or more months of full-time CPT at one degree level removes OPT eligibility at that level.
