Anybody knows if BSN (Bachelor of science in nursing) is eligible for opt extension?. I have googled it but can't find any relevant answer. anybody has experience on that?

BSN is in Allied Health and Nursing and doesn't fall under STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math). I hope I am wrong but I think you can't get STEMic extension for BSN.

I am sorry to say Gajedi but i think it also depends on the college doesn't it.. Coz for example MIS degree in some colleges are under Business and for some of them they are under Science.. Please i wanted the answer for this as well.. Do the OPT go from their own set of listings or they do have the preference from college department?? walkahead

I hope I am wrong on this and believe me I would be happy for everyone if they all can get this 17 months extension. Here is a complete list of majors that are qualified under STEM extension: (http://www.ice.gov/sevis/steml...
