Advantage of STEM MBA programs in United States
America USA
International MBA students studying on an F1 visa
in the USA gain access to the American job
market through the OPT or the Optional Practical
Training. OPT allows international students
temporary employment of up to 12 months in the
USA buying them time for applying to the
lottery-based H1B visa that holds the fate of
thousands of international professionals to
ransom every year. With a seemingly
anti-immigrant political sentiment in the US, and
tightening of the H1B visa norms, finding jobs
has become increasingly challenging. In this
glum scenario, b-schools offering a STEM
designation for their MBA programs bring
tremendous hope for international applicants.
STEM designations were traditionally granted to
academic programs focused on Science,
Technology, Engineering, and Math. These programs
are allowed a 24-month extension to the OPT,
thus allowing students a 3-year stay in the US
without needing the H1B visa. So, how do MBA and
STEM degrees work together? Which are the
b-schools which have started offering the STEM
MBA. Read more here. About MBA Decoder We are a
