International students interested in working in the U.S., who are searching for OPT designation or who need to be sponsored to work in the U.S. and do not already have that sponsorship, should understand that the MSQM: Business Analytics program does *not* have a STEM designation or provide OPT when evaluating whether or not to apply to the program.
