What does it mean to be STEM designated?

What aspects of the MFin curriculum make STEM classification possible? Our STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) program classification means that MFin complies with the definitions set forth by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). MFin’s curriculum focuses on the rigorous application of mathematics and statistics to the discipline of finance, including the development, critique, and application of financial models and instruction on a comprehensive range of methodologies, processes, and applications, which amounts to an extra two years of working in the United States.

What is the significance of STEM Classification for international students? Classification as a STEM program as defined by the DHS allows international students to extend their training in the United States by working in their field of study.

What are the terms of the extended training? International Master of Finance graduates on F-1 visas will have the option to remain in the United States for an additional 24 months via the optional practical training STEM extension. Instead of 12 months of optional practical training, they have a total of 36 months under STEM, which amounts to an extra two years of working in the United States.
