The training provided through the MSSP program affords our students the ability to work in a variety of fields including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>High Technology<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Economics\/Finance<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marketing<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Biomedicine<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Entertainment<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consulting<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Government \/ NPO<\/li>\n<li><strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Insurance<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"font-size: 20pt; color: #cc0000;\">OPT\/CPT Eligible<\/h5>\n<p>MSSP students on F-1 visas are eligible for both Curricular Practical Training (CPT) and Optional Practical Training (OPT). CPT may be authorized during the program when the work experience is an integral part of the curriculum, through the MA 901 course. It can be approved as part-time or full-time depending on the semester and academic schedule. OPT, on the other hand, provides up to 12 months of off-campus work authorization after program completion, allowing students to gain practical experience directly related to their field of study. All CPT and OPT authorizations must be approved in advance through the ISSO.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Networking With Boston Choosing Boston University means choosing Boston, and everything the city has to offer.
