What is the best STEM-OPT eligible Degree for Investment Banking Roles?

I am an international student applying to target colleges next application cycle. I understand that STEM-OPT majors are best for looking to break into the industry as the 2 year extension give you a better chance at the H1B visa if sponsored. Thus, I would like to understand which STEM eligible majors will be best to keep my options open for wall street?
Thank you for your time.

 

Princeton, MIT, Vanderbilt, etc have Master in Finance that are STEM masters. It is better to go to their website individually and check if they are eligible and make sure to look at the employment reports as well. If they do not mention as the admissions.

Edit: Read your post wrong - for this you need to ask the undergrad’s international student center (or immigration office) to see which one qualifies for STEM OPT. Look through and see what floats your boat. You have your usual suspects but also surprising ones.
