The department is pleased to announce that the financial economics major and the economics major now have STEM designation:
As the article explains, this will help our international students apply for OPT (Optional Practical Training), which allows them to work in the US for a limited period after their graduation. The joint majors with math and statistics already had this designation. If you are an international student and have questions regarding how this change will affect you then you should speak with someone at ISSO.
