University of Washington, Global Innovation Exchange

From smart homes to smart health, computing technologies are transforming our daily lives and powering innovation across the globe. UW’s Master of Science in Technology Innovation curriculum focuses on project and team-based learning to prepare you to solve global technology problems and lead the development of innovative solutions for connected devices or robotics. The MSTI degree is offered by an interdisciplinary group of UW faculty in partnership with the Global Innovation Exchange, a new academic-industry partnership between the UW, Tsinghua University in China and Microsoft. In addition to the Bellevue-based MSTI degree, students can pursue an exciting dual degree option that includes study at Tsinghua's campus in Beijing to complete a thesis-based program, the Master of Science in Engineering, Data Science and IT.

GIX is a new model of experiential education and practice to develop leaders in innovation. Starting with our project and team-based graduate degree programs, GIX will grow to include a broad array of innovation experiences for students, executives, and working professionals.
