Co-op concerns [CS major / international]

No matter what college you attend, getting co-ops and internships will be more difficult for int’ls for CS and this is why…

Many can only hire US citizens because of concerns about security and proprietary info. These companies can’t risk that an int’l will “take” proprietary info, share it with their home country, and leave. The company would have no means to “go after” such an offense.

That said, there are some companies that don’t have those concerns.

An int’l also has the option of seeking summer internships in their home country.

@wolfwing123 you’re not limited to any list. Bama students get their internships and co-ops from anywhere they find them…there is no limit to where they can look/find. The school doesn’t care if the opportunity is elsewhere…that is fine.
