for a year.
With a STEM degree, you get an extra two years, so at least three years, which makes it much more appealing to the student and to employers who hire them.
There's been a number of employers who are less likely to hire an international student if they're only here for one year.
But if you've got three years, they might be more likely to hire you.
That's true.
There's also been a push.
Overall, employers want MBA grads to have more of those data skills, the quant skills, so to speak.
So that also is beneficial for not just international students, but domestic students as well to have that opportunity.
STEM title next to your name.
The Department of Homeland Security kind of handles the STEM designation.
They outline certain fields that the schools have to abide by.
They add programs in business analytics, management science are some of the fields that the Department of Homeland Security highlights.
And they mainly handle it because it's more of an immigration issue.
than a Department of Education issue in some ways.
It's pretty complex and gets in the weeds, but the Department of Homeland Security handles it, which I think a lot of people are surprised by.
Well, employers are increasingly looking for students that are able to look at big data sets and combine that skills to be able to sift through data and look at large Excel sheets of numbers and be able to boil it down with along with the leadership skills that.
you learn in a traditional MBA program.
So employers are increasingly looking for those, a combination of skills, of being able to not necessarily be a data scientist, but being able to run a team of data scientists who run those Python, R, all these coding programs.
Employers want people who know how that works and how to make a pivot table in Excel, how to- Cruch data, essentially.
Yes.
