Yale School of Management's STEM-Certified Concentration - Official Announcement
Yale recently announced on their website that three of their degree programs have now gotten the STEM OPT designation. This means that students who are enrolled in these degree programs at Yale SOM have the opportunity to qualify for an additional STEM OPT. For MBA and MAM (Masters of Advanced Management) students to be eligible for the STEM OPT, they must first complete a concentration in Management Science. This concentration will draw on the Yale SOM faculty’s broad expertise in applying quantitative methods to challenges in business and management. Students will qualify for the concentration by completing a minimum number of credits in eligible courses, such as Data Analysis and Causal Inference, Speculation and Hedging in Financial Markets, and Big Data and Customer Analytics.
Currently enrolled students (Class of 2020 and 2021) who complete the required coursework will be eligible for this STEM OPT. Incoming students too can apply for the same in their final year.
