Why STEM designation matters
“STEM designation” means a degree program meets the criteria of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as a program emphasizing one or more of the pillars of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a significantly higher rate of growth in STEM occupations (10.8%) vs. non-STEM occupations (2.3%) from 2022-2032.* These skills are in high demand, and a strong background in a specialty emphasis such as business analytics can help you become even more qualified for advanced leadership roles.
You can become indispensable as a business leader capable of making sense of uncertainty by transforming complex data into the insights needed for business success. Our program provides the career-focused education you need to provide immense value for employers nationwide.
The benefit of STEM designation for international students
The STEM designation can potentially greatly benefit international students seeking employment in the United States.
All eligible F-1 students who complete a STEM-designated degree program may apply for extended practical experience working in the US, according to Department of Homeland Security guidelines.
International students who complete a STEM-designated program may apply to extend the 12-month Optional Practical Training (OPT) period by as much as an additional 24 months.
