Here's How It Works

Here's How It Works

Step 1 — First 6 Months – Start Your Master’s (MS) at Shiv Nadar University — Hybrid Format That Fits Your Schedule

Step 1 — First 6 Months – Start Your Master’s (MS) at Shiv Nadar University — Hybrid Format That Fits Your Schedule

You begin at Shiv Nadar University (SNU) in Delhi-NCR — recognized by the Government of India as an “Institution of Eminence.”During this phase, you’ll study the Arizona State University (ASU) U.S. curriculum online, with classes held over the weekends — making it ideal for working professionals and recent graduates.

You build a strong foundation across key domains like generative AI, machine learning, cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, quantum computing, blockchain, DevOps, neural networks, data visualization, business intelligence, predictive analytics, and enterprise data strategy — grounded in real-world applications and industry tools.

You're also fully trained for the U.S. visa interview — with everything from documentation to mock rounds handled end-to-end.

After 6 months, you’ll be equipped — academically, personally, and with visa application guidance — to pursue the final 18 months in the U.S.

Step 2 — Transfer to the U.S. (18 Months at ASU)

Step 2 — Transfer to the U.S. (18 Months at ASU)

For the next 18 months, you move to Arizona State University (ASU) — ranked #2 in the U.S. for employability among public universities*.

Alongside academics, you’ll receive structured career training — from building a strong resume and portfolio to preparing for interviews and internships.

These 18 months equip you with the skills and confidence to graduate ready — and take the next step: working in the U.S. through OPT (Optional Practical Training), a work authorization valid for up to 3 years.

Step 3 — Graduate Ready to Work in the U.S.

Step 3 — Graduate Ready to Work in the U.S.

You finish your Master’s (MS) in Computer Science, a STEM-designated program, making you eligible to apply for OPT work authorization in the U.S.

This gives you the opportunity to pursue roles with leading employers — where ASU graduates have secured positions — including Amazon, American Express, Apple, Intel, Microsoft, Deloitte, Goldman Sachs, Oracle, EY-Parthenon, and KPMG.

Save Up to 40% by Starting in India and Get Time to Plan Your Finances

Since the first six months are based in India, your tuition and living costs are up to 40% lower compared to a fully residential program in the U.S.
