FAQs

• Is there a word limit on my personal statement?

  

  Please strictly adhere to the word limit that is set for the personal statement. This word limit will be indicated in the admissions application portal.

• Is the MHCBM program a STEM program?

  

  Since the MHCBM program is a Master of Arts, this means it is unfortunately not a STEM program. While this means that international students are not eligible for the 24-month STEM Optional Practical Training (OPT) extension, international students are still eligible for a 12-month OPT through their F-1 student status. For more information on how this works, please check out the link here.
