Can I do an internship/work while studying at Stanford Summer Session?

International students are strongly discouraged from seeking or participating in internships, research opportunities, or work opportunities during their time at Stanford, as it may violate F-1 visa requirements. 

Internships and research opportunities may require students to have work authorization or certain practical training authorization, which may not be permitted with an F-1 visa. 

If you have further questions regarding participation in internships, research opportunities, and work opportunities while on a student visa, please contact the Bechtel International Center at new_intl_summer@stanford.edu.
