Starting with the Class of 2025, Harvard’s MBA program will allow international students to directly benefit from a three-year OPT work visa period!

🧐 What is OPT? Let me explain, Uwant: Previously, international students who didn’t major in STEM could only enjoy a 12-month OPT work period after graduation. STEM majors, on the other hand, could extend this by an additional 24 months. Now, since Harvard Business School’s MBA program has been classified as STEM, Harvard MBA graduates can stay in the U.S. for an extra two years, gaining valuable work experience and increasing their chances of securing an H-1B work visa!

It’s not just Harvard — other members of the M7 Alliance, like Stanford Business School, University of Chicago Booth, Northwestern University Kellogg, MIT Sloan, and Columbia Business School, have also designated their full-time MBA programs as STEM. Harvard is now following suit, offering international students even more opportunities to thrive in the American job market.

For students aiming to pursue an MBA in the U.S., this is a huge advantage! Not only will you earn a world-class degree, but you’ll also have three extra years to search for your dream job and make your U.S. career aspirations a reality!
