How do you get STEM designation?
In essence, a business school needs to certify that its program is best described as a program of management science, business statistics or actuarial science, rather than any other CIP code, in order to obtain STEM designation.
What is CIP code of STEM degree?
Title: Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Educational Methods. Definition: A program that prepares individuals to connect education practices with scientific, engineering, and mathematical principles for PreK-12 students.
What is major CIP code?
The Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) codes were developed by the U.S. Department of Education as the national taxonomic standard of academic program titles for federal surveys and state reporting of institutional data. Each instructional program is given the title that best represents the subject matter.
How many CIP codes are there?
The six-digit series, also referred to as six digit CIP Codes, represent specific instructional programs. Postsecondary educational institutions use six-digit CIP codes when completing the IPEDS Completions Survey. There are 47 two-digit series.
What degrees are STEM eligible?
STEM Majors List
- Astronomy.
- Biology.
- Chemistry.

How do CIP codes work?
The CIP taxonomy is organized on three levels: 1) the two-digit series, 2) the four-digit series, and 3) the six-digit series. The two-digit series represent the most general groupings of related programs. The four-digit series represent intermediate groupings of programs that have comparable content and objectives.
How do I change my CIP code?

Are there any CIP codes removed from NCES 2020?
No STEM-eligible CIP codes were removed. NCES added 496 new CIP codes in the NCES 2020 CIP. Seventeen of these automatically qualify for the DHS STEM Designated Degree Program list, because they fall under the four primary fields (engineering (14), biological and biomedical sciences (26), mathematics and statistics (27) and physical sciences (40)).
What is STEM field in Department of Education?
DHS determined a “STEM field” is a field included in the Department of Education’s CIP taxonomy within the two-digit series containing engineering (CIP code 14), biological sciences (CIP code 26), mathematics (CIP code 27), physical sciences (CIP code 40) or a related field.
