Friend who is a Singapore national is trying to figure out if he can do an online bachelors at Capella University in the US, specifically the Bachelor of Science in Information Technology have it be used to get an H1B or H1B1.
The sticking point is that he plans to complete it in a year- (he knows how to program and its a self paced program) will it satisfy USCIS requirements which say a foreign national must complete 4 years of post secondary study- is it specifically the years that matter or is it fine that its a 4 year degree done more quickly?
- proberts 7y agoIt's the course credits that matter. He should make sure that the school is an accredited institution of higher education of course but I'd also have him run this degree program by an education evaluation service.
- throwaway5612a 7y agoThanks so much for the reply! Just a brief followup- whats the reason for the education eval service? For context the school is US based, accredited, online and for-profit.
- leesec 7y agoI'm not sure the issues people have with this school but there is also a fully accredited online/self paced school at Western Governors University, just so you know.
- proberts 7y agoJust to make sure that the degree is truly considered a valid U.S. bachelor's degree.
- godelmachine 7y agoJust enquire if the course is recognized by World Education Services
- rshnotsecure 7y agoCapella University has a very low reputation / is for profit. My understanding is it is no better than ITT or University of Phoenix, which have a very bad and infamous reputation in the United States.
