STEM Designation

The BS in Economics at Trinity College has been designated as a STEM Extension eligible major by the State of Connecticut Office of Higher Education. For international students who graduate with a BS in Economics, this means they will be able to use their regular Optional Practical Training for one year and then apply for an additional two years of work authorization under the OPT STEM Extension.

Students who have additional questions about the STEM Extension should contact Katie Clair, International Student Adviser.
