珍尼特•纳波利塔诺部长说,国际学生与交流访问者为美国作出“极有价值的贡献”。



美国国务院国际信息局(IIP)《美国参考》从华盛顿报道,5月11日,美国国土安全部宣布扩大科学、技术、工程与数学(STEM)特定学位项目,允许符合条件的持学生签证的外国毕业生申请“自选实习”(optional practical training)。

国土安全部表示,这一行动基于该部致力于进行的一系列管理改革,以便更多地吸引国际学生。

国土安全部部长珍尼特•纳波利塔诺(Janet Napolitano)说:“把最好、最聪明的国际学生吸引到我们的大学里来,让他们能够促进专业发展,是我们保持国家经济、科学与技术竞争力的重要部分。国际学生与交流访问者为美国作出极有价值的贡献,而这有助于让下一代国际创业者在美国这里成长起来。”

根据“自选实习”项目,从美国大学毕业的学生能够继续在美国停留长达12个月,接受实习培训。从指定的科学、技术、工程与数学学位项目毕业的学生能够基于这种项目的规定,再延长17个月。

国土安全部表示,通过扩大指定的科学、技术、工程与数学学位项目,从而将药物学、计量经济学和数量经济学等学科也包括进来,将有助于把最好、最有资格的国际学生吸引到美国。

国土安全部还表示,这些改革反映了欧巴马政府致力于推行的政策是,欢迎其他国家有才华的学生来美国高等院校学习,并通过让高水平的外国学生延长毕业后在美国的培训和在其所在领域从事工作而使美国更加丰富多彩。

扩大后的科学、技术、工程与数学学位清单可见国土安全部网站。

今年早些时候,国土安全部宣布了该部将实施的几项有关措施,旨在简化移民企业家在美国创业的现有程序,挽留更多的外国出生的美国大学科学与技术专业毕业生,加快最优秀的研究学者的移民进程,帮助美国的新创企业和其他公司争取国际人才。

U.S. Government Expands Program for International Students

14 May 2012

Secretary Janet Napolitano says international students and exchange visitors "bring invaluable contributions" to the United States.

 

Washington — The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced May 11 an expanded list of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) designated-degree programs that qualify eligible graduates on student visas for an optional practical training (OPT) extension.

The department said the action builds on a series of administrative reforms designed to increase the department's commitment to attracting international students.

“Attracting the best and brightest international talent to our colleges and universities and enabling them to contribute to their professional growth is an important part of our nation's economic, scientific and technological competitiveness,” said Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano. “International students and exchange visitors bring invaluable contributions to our nation, and this helps empower the next generation of international entrepreneurs, right here in America.”

Under the OPT program, international students who graduate from colleges and universities in the United States are able to remain in the country and receive training through work experience for up to 12 months. Students who graduate from a designated STEM degree program can remain for an additional 17 months on an OPT STEM extension.

By expanding the list of designated STEM degree programs to include such fields as pharmaceutical sciences, econometrics and quantitative economics, the department said it is helping to bring the best, most qualified international students to the United States.

These reforms, the department said, reflect the Obama administration's commitment to promote policies that embrace talented students from other countries, who come to study in U.S. colleges and universities and enrich the nation by allowing highly skilled foreign graduates to extend their post-graduate training in the United States and work in their field of study upon graduation.

A full list of expanded STEM degrees is available on the DHS website.

Earlier this year, DHS announced several measures the department will implement to streamline existing pathways for immigrant entrepreneurs to create businesses in the U.S., retain more foreign-born science and technology graduates from U.S. universities, facilitate immigration by top researchers, and help U.S. startups and other companies compete for global talent.

More information on DHS programs for study in the United States is available on the department website.
