Curricular Offerings
STEM-Certified Majors and Concentrations
Interested in a STEM-certified business degree? Our majors and concentrations are designated science, technology, engineering, and mathematics offerings, which helps students excel in high-demand roles that require both business and technical acumen.
Our STEM majors and concentrations offer another benefit for international students, who can obtain a STEM OPT extension for their F-1 visa after graduation. The extension allows students to apply the skills they learned in their STEM degree studies in full-time employment in the U.S. If you choose one of these offerings, you will be eligible for 36 months of post-completion OPT (compared to 12 months for a non-STEM major or concentration).
