Alumni Spotlight: Josh Clancy, Dual Degree Graduate (2020)
Begin Your Journey in Beijing
Students who choose the Dual Degree begin by studying the MSE (Data Science & IT) degree at Tsinghua University in Beijing for 10 months. They will complete 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.
Deepen Your Experience in Seattle
Next, students will begin the MS in Technology Innovation in the University of Washington in Bellevue, Washington, outside Seattle for the next 18 months. While completing the MS in Technology Innovation coursework and projects, dual degree students will continue writing their thesis and completing their research culminating in a thesis defense in the final quarter of the MSTI program.
Dual Degree Requirements
Applicants must apply separately to both the University of Washington and Tsinghua University. The application materials and requirements are similar for both universities. This means that most of the work you complete for one application will also be applicable for the other.
