STEM Designation

WPI’s Data Science program is a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM)-designated degree program. Its Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) Code is 30.0801, indicating it has a Mathematics and Computer Science focus. This qualifies it as a STEM program by the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) STEM-designated degree programs. View the STEM degree program list here (PDF).  

The U.S. government has recognized the importance of STEM education by offering certain privileges for STEM degree recipients. These include, for example, the 17-months extension of Optional Practical Training (OPT) for STEM degree holders from the usual 12 months of Optional Practical Training to 29 months for qualified F-1 non-immigrant visa holder. Learn more about the program here.
