Summer Break at Westcliff

Hey everyone,

I might have a job opportunity in California, so I’ve been looking into Westcliff as a CPT option. I heard they allow summer breaks, but I’m not sure how many you’re allowed to take during the program.

Also, if you do take summer break, can you still keep working during that time? Or does taking a break from classes mean you have to stop working too?

If anyone’s currently at Westcliff or has gone through it, I’d really appreciate any info on how that works! Thank you!

There’s no official ‘summer break.’ At Westcliff, you’re eligible for a break semester after completing three consecutive terms.
During the break semester, you’re allowed to work.

Yes. Basically, after you complete your 18 credit courses, you will get one semester off for break.

I see! Do you know if there are still fees during the break semester? Thanks!

I think only the 1 credit CPT fee? tbh that’s a pretty good deal to extend the program…

Wow! Definitely a pretty good deal!

Any other universities has the summer break option as well?

Is this legal to have summer break

DBA fellow here. For MBA usually is just 1 semester break, for DBA you could take up to 3.
