After DHS new rule: The Only IT Day 1 CPT Doctor's Program

A new federal rule is set to end "duration of status" for F-1 students — and block a second degree at the same or lower level. But a doctorate is a higher level, and still on the table. In this video we break down Trine University's Doctor of Information Technology (DIT): what it is, how it's different from a master's, the real workload, and — the big one — how it holds up against an H-1B RFE. We will sit down with Senior Director Jiang from Trine to answer the questions students actually ask. ⚠️ Policy note: The DHS "fixed period of admission" rule cleared final White House (OMB) review on June 17, 2026, but is not yet in effect — it takes effect ~60 days after it's published in the Federal Register, and the final text will change. Verify the current status before making decisions. CISI helps F-1 students apply for free.
