...Harvard students last year, as the quota for H-1Bs was filled on May 26 (about two weeks before graduation), leaving many international Harvard students intending to work in the U.S. up the proverbial creek without a paddle.One glimmer of hope for these students is the Optional Practical Training (OPT) program, which allows international students to work in the U.S. for up to twelve months without a visa.

All religion concentrators choose a particular track, whether it be a religion (Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, etc.) or an area (East Asia, Modern West, etc.).
