International graduate students may arrange an educationally relevant         
 internship or paying position off campus and receive Curricular Practical     
 Training (CPT) credit via this course.  Students must maintain their full time
 status while receiving CPT.  Prior approval of the program director is        
 required for enrollment.  To justify enrollment, the student must have a      
 concrete commitment from a specific employer for a specific project, and must 
 provide to the program director for his/her approval a description of the     
 project plus a statement from the employer that he/she intends to employ the  
 student.  This information must be provided to the program director with      
 sufficient advance notice so that the program director has time to review the 
 materials and determine if the project is appropriate.  The project must be   
 educationally relevant; i.e., it must help the student develop skills         
 consistent with the goals of the educational program.  During the semester,   
 the student must submit written progress reports.  At the end of the semester,
 the student must submit for grading a written report that describes his/her   
 activities during that semester, even if the activity remains ongoing.  The   
 student must also present his/her activities in an accompanying oral          
 presentation that is also graded.
