这几日,希拉里承诺STEM专业研究生毕业将自动获绿卡的消息在广大美国留学生圈里炸开了锅,各种解读各种分析,真是越刷越燃,那么到底这事靠不靠谱呢?希拉里阿姨的承诺到底能不能兑现呢?相信大家也看明白了,希拉里当选+新的移民法案获得通过是必要前提。
今天我们不讨论这个还不确定的问题,我们讨论一下STEM的问题。
什么是STEM?
STEM由科学(Science)、技术(Technology)、工程(Engineer)和数学(Mathematics)首字母组成,是美国鼓励学生主修科学、技术、工程及数学的一项计划。在美国国土安全局网站上可以查到一个长长的属于STEM计划的专业列表,比如化工、计算机科学、物理、数学、生物科学和航空航天等理工科。
STEM有什么好处?
对于国际学生来说,毕业之后想找工作就要申请OPT(Optional Practical Training),有了OPT才可以在美国合法实习、工作,但是OPT都是有一定时间限制的。标准的OPT只有一年时间,也就是说如果毕业生一年之内无法拿到H1B工作签证,就必须离开美国了。但是STEM专业的毕业生可以申请额外17个月的OPT延期(据传说新政策将延期增加至了24个月),也就是说他们将拥有总共29个月的OPT时间用来找工作并申请H1B工作签证。因此,选择STEM项目,对于国际学生在美国找工作来说是莫大的优势!
商科属于STEM专业吗?
传统商科如金融(金融工程除外)、会计等显然不是STEM专业,但是,近年来随着大数据的兴起,数据分析项目如雨后春笋一般在美国商学院兴起。由于这些项目与数学、统计及信息科学有大量的交叉,因此十分具备成为STEM专业的资质。另有一些学校商学院的信息系统管理(Information Management)项目也纷纷增加了数据分析的方向。但是,目前来看,拥有STEM标签的商学院数据分析项目仍然是少数。
今年三月份,美国国土安全部发布了有关于“STEM专业OPT延期的最终政策”的文件。这份文件已于3月11日,在联邦公报网站上公示,于2016年5月10日正式生效!而最值得关注的,则是STEM专业OPT延期将从原来的17个月调整为24个月!加上原来12月的OPT时间,STEM专业的学生OPT最终总共时间加起来将为36个月!
下面是美国官方认定的422个STEM专业,请大家按字母排列进行查询,一些新被认定的项目可能未被列入表中请谅解。
以下是全部422个STEM专业列表(按字母谁序排列)
