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。
