For all international students: Tepper is now a designated STEM MBA! Posted from my mobile device

Any source you could share about this development?

I heard the same today - the info is coming from the AdCom but apparently there are a few final clearances that have to happen before it is officially announced, likely Thursday. P.S. Many schools are heading in the STEM direction to protect the students and make the experience of recruiting more seamless for international students. I have heard through grapevine that Ross and a number of other schools are working on STEM certification for the incoming students in 2020

Just received an email from Tepper regarding the STEM designation. So it’s official.

The information is from the Dean. I am a current student here. Posted from my mobile device

The Major is going to be renamed as - Management Sciences.

Can someone please share insights on what implications does this change have on international applicants? Does this make recruiting in US easier? Posted from my mobile device

So it has definitely opened up more opportunities. One example: PWC has allowed us to recruit. Previously they weren't sponsoring. It's not crystal clear as to how it affects recruiting, but I will keep the thread posted about any latest developments.

It gives you an automatic 3-year work permit which helps with a few things: 1. It gives you a legal right without too much hoop jumping to stay and work! In the US for 3 years 2. You are more likely to get an H1 B work permit since you will have 3-4 opportunities at the lottery instead of 1-2. 3. Employers that don’t hire internationals and don’t bother with H1B will still not hire however they may reconsider. Sounds like PWC is one! . This is not an automatic work permit however. 4. You can now stay in the US for 3 years + 2x3 for H1B. A total of 9 years which is plenty for a green card application. Posted from my mobile device
