FSU Eligible STEM Majors

The current Department of Homeland Security STEM Eligible list is at https://www.ice.gov/doclib/sevis/pdf/stemList2024.pdf. Please note that the CIP codes dictate eligibility for STEM OPT, not major names or CIP code titles. You can find the list of all CIP codes for all Florida State University majors at in the Degree Program Inventory at https://ir.fsu.edu/dpi.aspx. You can search majors by CIP code at that site. The Center for Global Engagement is required to use for I-20 forms the CIP code that the State of Florida approved for the specific major as noted in the Degree Program Inventory. Please note that CIP codes may vary by degree level for degrees with the same or similar names.
