The University of Michigan-Shanghai Jiao Tong University
Joint Institute (JI) was founded in 2006, following a strategic
partnership between the University of Michigan in the
United States and Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China.
For over a decade, these two elite universities have
sustained JI’s growth as a world-class educational and
research institute in China dedicated to developing future
innovators with a global vision.
JI students and faculty uphold the four principles of
Internationalization, Interdisciplinarity, Innovation, and Quality
(I3Q). This distinctive model of engineering education has
earned us prestigious awards, including the “Model of Chinese
Higher Education Reform” from the Chinese State Council and the “Andrew Heiskell Award for Innovation in
Higher Education” from the Institute for International Education.
At present, JI offers three majors to undergraduate students and eight research disciplines to graduate
students. Two of our undergraduate majors, Mechanical Engineering and Electrical & Computer
Engineering, have achieved ABET accreditation. The dual-Bachelor’s-degree program with the University
of Michigan allows students to earn two Bachelor’s degrees in two different majors within four years. JI has
also partnered with 27 top universities and institutes worldwide to offer students a variety of Global Degree
Pathways (GDP) programs and international exchange opportunities, to encourage them to diversify their
learning experience in preparation for an increasingly complex world.
All the courses at JI are taught in English by our internationally recruited faculty from leading universities.
As we foster engineering students’ intellectual curiosity and creativity, we also train them to be critical
thinkers, strong communicators, and effective leaders in their fields. Stories of personal resilience and
success from our alumni continue to inspire current students who face greater challenges now than ever
before in adapting to evolving technologies and the demands of the marketplace.
In May 2018, JI ushered in a new era of growth after Shanghai Jiao Tong University and the University of
Michigan signed another ten-year partnership agreement. We also moved into our new building, Long Bin
Building, with state-of-the-art education and research facilities. I invite you to visit us or join us to start an
exciting and rewarding journey.

Curriculum of the MSE program is built on a common science and engineering core and closely follows the curriculum of MSE program at UM.
Material Science and Engineering(MSE) Program
This program is designed to allow a student entering the JI undergraduate program to earn two Bachelor of Science (BS) degrees from two different institutions in two different academic areas. It will offer JI students a high-quality international educational experience and an ability to engage in international engineering efforts in cooperation between China and the United States. Students apply in their sophomore year to one of the 19 programs offered by the University of Michigan, including 17 programs at College of Engineering and 2 programs at College of Literature, Science and the Arts. Students spend substantial amount of time in both UM and SJTU to take courses required by both degrees. After completing each university’s requirements, students will receive a BS Degree from the UM, a BS Degree from the SJTU, the Graduation Diploma from the Ministry of Education of China, and a JI Study Certificate jointly granted by SJTU and UM.
Dual Bachelor’s Degree Programwith University of Michigan (UM)
Undergraduate Degree Programs
In the spirit of innovation and interdisciplinarity, JI has developed the Global Degree Pathways (GDP) program that offers pathways for students to seek a Bachelor’s degree in engineering at the JI followed by a Master’s degree in engineering or non-engineering field from a global partner institution. Students apply in their junior or senior year, depending on the different GDP program application timelines. A typical GDP program takes 5 years. Students participating in the GDP programs may be offered a provisional admission to a Master’s program in as early as their junior year. Some GDP programs will allow students to study graduate-level courses in a global partner university in the senior year for one to two semesters. After graduating from the JI, the students will return to the global partner university and continue their Master’s study. It generally involves modest double counting of credits in accordance with the academic policies of the governing schools and colleges and with a specialized and early admission process. The GDP program allows JI students to seek further academic development in and beyond engineering, with a more direct, simple and accelerated way. It greatly expands the number of disciplines the JI students may pursue after their undergraduate study at the JI. The GDP programs currently offered by JI are in engineering, business, statistics, environment and sustainability, data analytics, etc.
Global Degree Pathways(GDP) Program
Qualified JI undergraduate students may be admitted to the Joint Undergraduate Master Program (JUMP) in the first semester of the senior year. This program is developed to promote enrollment of qualified JI students in the JI Master’s program by double counting credits for both bachelor and master degrees. This program also provides JI students opportunities to spend more time on research rather than course work during their graduate study.
Joint UndergraduateMaster Program (JUMP)
JI offers three minors: minor in Entrepreneurship to encourage students to learn practical skills that may help translate innovate ideas into real impact; minor in Data Science to provide students with a basic understanding in the aspects of computer science, statistics, and mathematics that are relevant for analyzing and manipulating large complex datasets; and minor in Computer Science to broaden students’ horizon in a different discipline and make the students more marketable to employers. If planned well in advance of the senior year, a minor will not add extra credits to those required for a bachelor’s degree at JI.
