Earn both an MSTI degree from UW and an MSE(DSIT) degree from Tsinghua University learning deeply about technology, design thinking, and entrepreneurship while engaging in a research-driven thesis.

Deepening your knowledge in the development of technology solutions, the Dual Degree integrates the MSTI curriculum with the Master of Science in Engineering (Data Science and Information Technology) (MSE(DSIT)) from Tsinghua University in China.

Students in the Dual Degree program begin their studies at Tsinghua University in Beijing. They will spend 10 months completing elective coursework and projects with a focus on the China market. Students will also be matched with an advisor who will mentor them in completing an engineering focused thesis.

After a 2-month summer break in which students have the option to take a break or complete an internship, students will then begin the MSTI program in Bellevue, WA, which lasts for 15 months. For more in-depth information about the MSTI program coursework, please visit the MSTI webpage.
