with the Midland University MBA program with BVP

The required 16-week Capstone provides hands-on work experience with a local company, focusing on a specific problem or program at the organization. It is structured to give students knowledge and insight about how American enterprises operate on a day-to-day level. At the same time, students have the opportunity to demonstrate their skills and abilities to the American company which can possibly lead to an internship if the company has an opening.
Graduates of the program are eligible to stay in the United States for an additional 12 months for Optional Practical Training (OPT). Each program participant who is interested in pursuing OPT will have an opportunity to meet with the Midland University Career Studio to explore industry-specific channels, networking events, and online platforms to enhance your internship search for the OPT. The Career Studio will help the student explore options for interviews and advise the student on best practices for interviewing.
Every February, Midland University hosts a Career Fair attended by more than 100 employers, which BVP students would be invited to attend. These contacts often lead to internships with local companies and partners of the university.
