Why STEM?

The Bureau of Labor and Statistics estimates that there will be 11.8 million jobs available in STEM by 2032. These fields of work are critical to the U.S.'s economic growth and overall global competitiveness. Yet the number of qualified professionals is declining, leaving many positions unfilled.

Benefits for international students

STEM-designated graduate programs may enable extended international student STEM Optional Practical Training (OPT) eligibility, which expands the 12-month OPT by an additional 24 months. This allows for additional practical working experience to complement your field of study, as you search for full-time work in the U.S.

The training I received from the Ph.D. program in Molecular Bioscience at Seton Hall has been instrumental in my career success as the Director of Molecular Diagnosis, overseeing both the R&D and clinical diagnosis departments.

With the knowledge and experiences garnered so far, I am ready and eager to face the world after graduate school. In my profession, I plan to make informed decisions using the quantitative and analytical approach gained during this program.
