International students in F-1 and J-1 status are eligible for employment in certain circumstances. F-1 and J-1 students are allowed to work on campus up to 20 hours per week during the academic year and full time during breaks. Any off-campus work, including internships, requires authorization in advance. You should carefully review the information about employment options on these pages. It is your responsibility to make sure that you have the required authorization before beginning any employment.

You can find many resources for your job search through the Fleishman Center for Career and Professional Development. The Fleishman Center also hosts a job database called hireBING, where on-campus and off-campus jobs and internships are posted.
