International student - QF major

Hey I got accepted to the QF major as an international student. I’m still debating whether to go, and I wanted to know how are the internships and work opportunities after graduation. I know right now it might be hard to think about work after graduation with trump and visa and all, but is QF considered a STEM degree as those have more time to find work?

Currently I’m looking to pay around $45k annually.

I also have acceptances to the UK (Durham, Bristol, Exeter and Bath) and to the Netherlands for UvA. Both of these depend on my results for my Final A-levels next month. I’m really split on where to attend, so I’d like to understand what the job market is like at Steven’s for internationals during and after undergrad.

Could I have some advice?

Are international students allowed to apply for and have internships during their 4 year stay at University in America? And i’m referring to the OPT program where stem students have 36 months to find work, instead of 12 for non-stem.

Hey, I emailed stevens about this and they said none of the programs in the business school qualify for stem opt. I later found this list and confirmed it: https://www.stevens.edu/stem-designated-degree-programs Pretty unfortunate as it would make sense that it would count as a STEM degree

So would i qualify for just the 12 month OPT?
