Global Reach
Summer 2012 · Comment ·
UT Arlington is joining forces with Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications to help talented Chinese students earn graduate degrees. Beginning in fall 2013, the two universities will offer a joint master’s degree in computer science and engineering with a focus on software engineering. Administrators anticipate that the program will bring 15–20 Chinese students a year to UT Arlington. “This is a wonderful opportunity for us to build partnerships not only with these students but with Beijing University and China in general,” says Fillia Makedon, chair of the Computer Science and Engineering Department. “Software engineering is a global field that impacts everything and drives innovation.”
