Can I get a second degree in the U.S. on the same F-1 visa?

Yes, many international students pursue a second degree e.g., a master’s after a bachelor’s, or a second bachelor’s while on an F-1 visa.

You must be admitted to a new program at a SEVP-certified school and receive a new Form I-20 from the Designated School Official (DSO).

 You can transfer schools or change levels of education e.g., from undergraduate to graduate while staying in the U.S., as long as you maintain your F-1 status.
