Is MS in Architecture a STEM field ? Are Employers willing to sponsor H1B?

[DesiOPT-FaceBook-Admin]

Hello Desi Opt. I have a friend who has done her Masters in Architecture from a reputed instituted in India. She would like to know if Architecture is a STEM field and if she plans to pursue MS in Arch. in US:
-Are there enough jobs and are employers wiling to sponsor H1B for such candidates or not?
-Also, what are the few companies to look forward to in this field for jobs. Thank you.

I think the field of design and architecture is very interesting, since the future lies in construction.
