On September 6, 2024, Georgia Tech announced plans to end the graduate degree programs and wind down operations with the Georgia Tech-Shenzhen Institute. Georgia Tech – Shenzhen is no longer accepting new applications for admission.
Georgia Tech is discussing with its accreditation body to implement a teach-out plan to allow currently enrolled students to work towards graduation.
Master of Science (MS) in Computer Science (CS) students who matriculate through GT-Shenzhen must spend their first two semesters at GT-Shenzhen. This requirement does not apply to BS/MS applicants. Afterward, they have the possibility of studying at GT-Shenzhen or GT-Europe, or GT-Atlanta and completing their degree program.
Students who complete the entire Georgia Tech degree program in Shenzhen may participate in the graduation ceremony in Atlanta if they secure a proper U.S. visa (such as a tourist visa).
Students applying for the transfer to the GT-Atlanta MS CS program must have a Georgia Tech GPA of 3.5 or above (out of 4.0) and be in good disciplinary standing. GT-Shenzhen will perform multiple checks of this status before the transfer to ensure conformity to the transfer criteria.
