What are the Benefits of a STEM Degree in the USA?

Opting for a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) degree in the United States offers students a multitude of advantages, and one standout benefit is the Optional Practical Training (OPT) period. This unique provision allows international students pursuing STEM degrees to work in the U.S. for up to 12 months post-graduation without the need for a work visa. This hands-on experience provides a valuable opportunity to apply academic knowledge in real-world settings and enhance career prospects.

In a groundbreaking move, Miles Education has forged partnerships with leading U.S. universities, transforming their Master's in Accounting program into a STEM-eligible degree in the US.
