此前,美国国际教育学会(International Eduacation Exchange)发布了《2022年美国门户开放报告》。
报告显示,STEM专业热度仍处于高位,约53%的国际生选择入读STEM专业,其中研究生STEM占比是62%,本科40%,未来STEM专业的申请会越来越激烈。

好消息来啦!!
继去年新增22个STEM专业,根据《联邦公报》7月12日消息,美国国土安全部和移民局联合宣布将对STEM专业范围修订,新增加8个STEM专业领域,包括在建筑、机械、计算机、心理学和地理等,这意味着这些专业也能申请OPT延期啦!

毫无疑问,这对留学生而言又是一则好消息!
不过大家一定要注意!具体能否拿到资格,需要看你就读的院校是否提交了相应材料给政府将该专业申请为STEM

二、2022年新增的22个STEM专业

三、STEM专业优势
✦广阔的就业前景:据美国劳工统计局,2020-2030十年间,STEM相关职位会增长10.5% ;其中,信息技术与数学相关的STEM职位将成为增长最快的领域,这表明STEM领域的就业市场需求十分旺盛。
✦OPT延期:STEM专业的留学生在完成学业后可以申请OPT延期,对于留学生而言,这会让他们拥有更多的实践机会,还可以增加获得H1B工作签证或绿卡的机会。
✦丰厚的薪资待遇:根据美国劳工局,2021年,STEM专业人员的平均年薪超9万美元,而非STEM职业的平均年薪仅仅略高于4万美元。
