Is an M.S. in Financial Engineering Considered a STEM Degree?
Is a Master of Science in Financial Engineering from a prestigious university such as Columbia, NYU, Stanford, Berkeley, Cornell, MIT, Chicago, etc. considered an advanced degree under the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) program? Thanks for the help.
For what purpose? I've always thought STEM was a fairly informal classification. If you've got a more specific reason (like there's a STEM only scholarship or a job opening that requires a STEM degree) then that's probably something to talk to them about.
I usually translate STEM to mean 'quantitative skillset'. MFE fits the bill.
I'm not sure visa authorities view it the same.
OP, just curious why you care if it's STEM or not? Do you just wanna be able to tell people you studied a STEM field haha?
OP wants to be able to go on Reddit and make fun of liberal arts majors.
Definitely to do with increased OPT extension for STEM degree holders. Financial mathematics does fall under STEM field, not sure about financial engineering.
Yes

The closest I could find was Financial Mathematics
