Yes, many MS in Business Analytics programs in the US are classified as STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) programs. This STEM designation means the curriculum emphasizes technical and quantitative skills, and it allows international students to apply for an extended work permit (OPT) of up to 36 months after graduation.

However, STEM status depends on the specific university and program, so you should confirm this for your chosen course.
