Curricular Practical Training (CPT)

At Kramer School of Nursing, we prioritize the academic success and integrity of our programs. To comply with the US Citizenship and Immigration guidelines, Kramer School of Nursing does not offer Curricular Practical Training (CPT). According to USCIS guidelines, CPT must be an integral part of an established curriculum. Our programs require clinical/practicum hours that are embedded in individual courses and are not eligible for pay and/or employment benefits. Offering CPT would not comply with the USCIS regulations. USCIS Regulation information can be found at: .

We understand that practical experience is valuable, and we encourage students to explore other opportunities such as Optional Practical Training (OPT) after completing their degree. For more information on OPT and other work authorization options, please contact our International Admissions Office.A student meeting all of the requirements as found on the admissions policy, plus provides proof of bachelor’s or associate’s degree (plus religion course) from an accredited institution may be eligible to proceed with the below LPN-BSN tracks.

If a student has some or no general education and elective requirements, then they can meet with a nursing advisor and create a plan to fulfill these courses, all except six hours which can carry over into the program, to be eligible to start the NURS level courses.

If no degree is provided, then student must completed the required general education, general electives and science prerequisites prior to starting NURS level courses. Nursing advisors can work with student to create a plan of progression.
