Through our partnership with Tsinghua Holdings Zijing (Beijing) Education Group (Zijing Education), Syracuse University offers students in China an opportunity to earn a Master of Science in Computer Science, a Master of Science in Computer Engineering, or a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering through study in China and the United States. Offering conditional first-year admission to undergraduate students, Zijing will provide operational services and student recruitment for this unique and prestigious collaboration.
The Program Structure
The program allows students to earn a master’s degree in two years by completing one year of study in China and a second in the United States. During the first year, undergraduate junior or senior year students receive conditional admission to the master’s program at Syracuse University if they complete/pass the Intensive English program, fulfill the undergraduate overall GPA requirement, and the English proficiency requirement (see https://Syracuse-plus.ezijing.com for additional acceptable proof of English proficiency). With a curriculum developed in collaboration with Syracuse University, first-year courses are taught in China by Zijing Education faculty.
After graduating college and meeting entrance requirements, Syracuse University will offer students unconditional admission to complete the second and final year of their master’s program in the United States. This degree can be certified as a master’s degree by the Chinese (Ministry of Education) Service Center for Scholarly Exchange.
This program adopts bilingual and small-sized class teaching styles to help students adapt to the American teaching mode in advance.
