Graduate STEM-Designated Degrees

LeBow’s STEM-designated graduate degrees offer a comprehensive business education through a blend of interdisciplinary technical, quantitative and professional skills with the added benefit of participating in unique experiential learning opportunities.

By encouraging students to step outside of their disciplines and utilize academic theory and technical ability to solve real-world business challenges from the start, LeBow’s graduate STEM programs ensure students have the experience needed to adapt to and lead in the inevitable technological changes in the fast-paced business environment. Also boasting a diverse student body and supportive international student services, our business school helps students innovate across industries and the world.

How it Works

F-1 students can apply for a 24-month Optional Practical Training (OPT) Extension if they:

• Earn a STEM degree
• Are employed by employers enrolled in the E-Verify system
• Have received an initial approval of Post-Completion Optional Practical Training (OPT) employment authorization related to such a degree
• Apply for the 24-month OPT extension prior to the expiration of their Post-Completion OPT. United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) accept 24-month OPT Extension applications as early as 120 days before the expiration of a Post-Completion OPT.

Please contact the Office of International Students and Scholars Services at isss@drexel.edu for detailed information and assistance on OPT.
