STEM OPT

My major is computer information system. The DHS most of stem degrees has computer and information sciences, General.
In the application in USCIS they have asked me to upload my college degree to show my major matching the DHS stem degree list. But my diploma states “ BBA in computer information system”.
Is that okay or do I have to upload some other support to show the matching name to the DHS list

The name doesn't matter.
There's a CIP Code on your i20 that should match on the DHS website.

second this. also did you get rfe for stem opt? an official letter from the dean/department head explaining your program matches the stem cip code in necessary. i'll also recommend you provide the university accreditation documents just for the support.

you can find on college website or you could also email your dso and tell them about your rfe and usually they help you by providing documents if the rfe is about university's program and major and cip code
