International Students and Employment Due to severe restrictions imposed by the nation's immigration laws, and considerable backlogs in the processing of employment visa applications, employers across the country have generally been reluctant to hire international students upon graduation. Therefore, international applicants to the School of Accountancy's Masters Programs should be mindful of the very strong likelihood that they may not be able to obtain employment in the United States upon successful completion of the program. We continue to welcome international students, but with this cautionary message concerning employment.
