International students at Wake Forest bring unique experiences and skills, like independence, multilingualism, and a willingness to take risks. These traits help them excel in grad school and the workplace.
The OPCD offers programs just for international students, covering resumes, job searching, and networking in the U.S. Our career coaches also guide students to resources specific to their home countries and work with the WFU Center for International Services and Support on visa requirements for CPT and OPT.
