Together, we build a globally connected community—where local engagement meets international
opportunity.
Hire an International Student
Tap into a global talent pool by hiring international students from Missouri State
University. These students bring diverse perspectives, strong work ethics, and valuable
cross-cultural skills to your organization.
Optional Practical Training allows international students to work in the U.S. for
12 -36 months after completing their degree, in a role directly related to their field
of study. Employers benefit from fresh talent and global perspectives while students
gain valuable professional experience. No sponsorship is necessary.
Curricular Practical Training enables international students to engage in internships
or employment while still enrolled at MSU, as part of their academic curriculum. It’s
a great way for employers to connect with emerging professionals and support experiential
learning. No sponsorship is necessary.
