STEM designation signals analytic rigor to employers, emphasizing to them that Simon graduates excel at information gathering and analysis and are prepared to use those skills to drive growth.
Like all of our MS programs, Simon’s MS in Accountancy program is STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) designated. Simon’s STEM focused curriculum provides a wealth of tools that prepare students to succeed in a data driven, global business economy. The STEM designation is also of special benefit to international students as it offers them the opportunity to extend their Optional Practical Training, or OPT, by 24 months, for up to three full years of US work eligibility without an H-1B visa.
