| When faculty members at Lynn University, in Florida, did that
| alignment for all concentrations for their master of science in
| communication and media and master of fine arts in visual effects
| animation programs, for example, the government recognized these as
| STEM degrees for student visa purposes. Now, international graduates
| of these programs on F-1 visas are eligible to extend their stays in
| the United States by 24 months (or up to 36 months) to gain relevant
| work experience with a STEM optional practical training visa--a
| privilege earlier reserved for those who earned the likes of
| engineering or computer science degrees.
|
| Many celebrate the government's more inclusive definition of STEM,
| especially given that many arts and communication jobs today require
| web design, programming, data management and other tech skills.
| Colleges that have succeeded in reclassifying their arts and
| communications degrees as STEM for student visa purposes have found
| that doing so boosts their international recruitment efforts and
| offers their graduates enhanced work opportunities.
