STEM Programs

The Department of Economics is pleased to offer one STEM-designated undergraduate program, the BS in Economics (30 credit hours). The Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) classification allows students graduating from these programs to be eligible for STEM-related scholarships and to apply to a wider range of jobs, especially at institutions seeking students from STEM fields. Furthermore, international students completing a STEM-designated program will have the opportunity to stay in the United States up to three years with approved documentation (OPT/CPT) rather than one year.

Students who are interested in STEM degrees can declare a major in Bachelor of Science in Economics as an undergraduate student.
