I currently work as a Software Engineer and would like to continue working in the same role through CPT. If I switch my major to MBA, would I still be able to continue my job under CPT, or could the change in major create an issue with CPT eligibility since the job needs to be related to the program of study?
If anyone has gone through a similar major change or has experience with CPT while pursuing an MBA at Trine, I would really appreciate your input.
Also, if anyone is starting or currently pursuing an MBA at Trine for Fall 2026, please DM me. I have a few questions about the program.

I applied for the H1 to F1 COS in February last week. My university classes will commence on the second week of August. However, I need to inform my university about the status update by July 26. Should I file for premium processing or wait for the approval?
Please share your thoughts.
