Which Universities authorize CPT in first semester and CPT in first year itself for MS-CS/IT program?

Hi,

I am currently on H4 visa and have good amount of prior IT experience. As i do not have a work authorisation and looking at the H1B lottery process, iam interested in opting for a graduate program on-campus/online in US universities which will offer me CPT in first semester and OPT in first year itself (once i change my status to F1).

Iam based out of Charlotte, North Carolina, so it would be great if someone can provide me list of colleges near by Charlotte which will fulfill my above mentioned requirement.

Thanks in advance!!

Avoid CPT from very first semesters. These universities offering CPT from first sem are fraudlant. Check Tri-valley/UNVA/Herguan university scams. Many Students were deported.

I understand your urge to work. But be careful with your career in US. Take admit in a good college- through GRE/TOEFL. Stay away from shady colleges offering CPT from day one ( For profit colleges are strict no-no
