History
editThe institute was established as a joint venture between Tianjin University and the Georgia Institute of Technology in August 2014, and received higher education accreditation from the Ministry of Education of China in March 2020.[1][2][3] The campus of the institute is approximately 40 acres large.[2][4]
In 2020, the United States Department of Commerce added Tianjin University to the Entity List.[5] In September 2024, Georgia Tech announced that it will exit the Shenzhen Institute, following U.S. congressional scrutiny of potential ties to the People's Liberation Army.[6][5] Current students are able to complete their degree requirements and study abroad programs.[7]
Programs
editThe institute offers undergraduate and graduate programs in electrical and computer engineering,[8] as well as related fields. It is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges, and mostly caters to graduate students pursuing degrees in Masters of Science.[4]
