Recap:
The BSBA in CIS is correctly classified as a business degree. It only requires 18 CIS credits. DHS has been rejecting STEM-Opt applications because colleges and universities have been abusing the system and misclassifying degrees. DHS will look to see if the major aligns with the CIP code the school put on SEVIS and on the graduate's I-20. In other words, just because your degree has a STEM CIP doesn't mean that DHS won't classify it as a non-STEM degree after reviewing the curriculum.
TESU recently made name changes on their website, but I'm not sure they are the official degree titles. The CIP codes align with the old names. The BA in Natural Sciences and Mathematics being classified as biology should be a non-issue since biology is designated by DHS as STEM.
BSAST was the degree for all of TESU's technology concentrations. Technically, that is applied science and technology. If the AST has been removed, and the area of study has enough credits to be considered a major, then the degree should be reclassified.
