Master's after Master's??

[blackmountain 0]

I got my Master's (MAA) in May 2011 and now I'm on OPT working(expires in july 2012).

I'm planning to apply for an MBA program in Fall 2012 and wondering if this is possible

even without leaving US??

You enroll in new course, you will have another I-20 and it is the authorization for your stay. You don't have to leave US for that.

so it doesn't have to be a higher education (PHD??), I can still enroll for another Master's degree??

It doesn't matter at all, I used to see some guys keep enrolling in another major at community college to stay (they've got several associates... )

Hello,

Yes, Nancy is right. You do not need to leave US. You can trasfer to another school. I believe this has to be done within a certain number of days of your current F-1/F1-OPT status expiring though. Also, I hope you are aware that you will NOT be eligible for another practical training(OPT) after a second master's.

It is ok to continue or transfer school while you are in States with valid I-20 but if you leave the country for vacation, you'll have to renew your student visa. You won't be able to come back to States with your expired student visa.
