STEM Designation

An MHA Plus with a concentration in Analytics is a graduate degree program with a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) designation. Due to the demand of graduates with expertise in STEM fields, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) permits international students graduating from STEM programs to apply for a 24-month extension of their initial year of Optional Practical Training (OPT). Please be advised that DHS is the ultimate and deciding authority on all OPT applications and STEM extensions. For more detailed information, please visit the ISSO webpage.

This concentration prepares individuals to apply data science to generate insights from data and identify and predict trends. Includes instruction in computer databases, computer programming, inference, machine learning, optimization, probability and stochastic models, statistics, strategy, uncertainty quantification, and visual analytics.

Please note: the MHA Plus with a concentration in Leadership does not have a STEM designation.
