Overview
Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) was founded in Shanghai, China, in 1896, with the goal of cultivating talented professionals for the nation. Today, SJTU has become one of the world's top 100 universities and is currently comprised of 5 campuses. As a comprehensive university, SJTU offers 71 undergraduate programs covering 9 major disciplines: economics, law, literature, science, engineering, agriculture, medicine, management, and arts.
This program combines a semester as an exchange student at Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) with a three-month internship in industry or in a university research facility. Purdue GEARE students take courses alongside Purdue students participating in the Engineering Term Abroad program. This allows students to complete their studies in May, allowing time to complete an internship in China during the summer months.
