NCE CIP Codes for STEM Degrees
The following is a list of Classification of Instructional Programs codes
published by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES CIP codes) that
have been designated by ICE as science, technology, engineering, or math (STEM)
degrees for the purpose of approving a 17-month STEM extension of optional
practical training (OPT) under the provisions of 8 CFR 214.2(f)(10)(ii)(C).
In order for F-1 students to qualify for this 17-month extension, the code
for the student’s degree program must be on this list. Other requirements are
found in the regulatory language.
To suggest a change to the list of STEM designated degrees, write to
SEVIS.Source@dhs.gov, with STEM Code
Change Request in the subject line. Please include your name, phone number,
organizational affiliation, the code(s) you would like to see added and the
rationale for the addition. Change requests will be reviewed by ICE in
conjunction with the Department of Education and other advisors.
