Upon conferment of their undergraduate degree by NTU, students meeting eligibility requirements for full degree seeking admission to the Graduate School and their specific Master’s Program in Engineering may remain at South Carolina to complete their Master’s degree. This 3+2 plan for academic agreement is the innovative model in NTU as well as USC. The agreement aims to promote exchange of skills and education through academic and scientific cooperation and students exchange program between two sides in the next three years.
