How do we transition from the GT-Shanghai MS ECE program to the GT-Atlanta ECE PhD degree program?
First, pass the ECE PhD prelim exam at the earliest opportunity. Keep your GT GPA high. Approximately 6-9 months before the start of your planned PhD studies at GT-Atlanta, you can contact selected professors to inquire about Graudate Research Assistantship (GRA) opportunities. If any professor agrees to sponsor you, please inform the GT-Shanghai Office about the GRA arrangement. We will then give permission to the ECE Graduate Office and the Registrar’s Office to switch your campus from GT-Shanghai to GT-Atlanta, after you have completed the GT MS ECE degree at GT-Shanghai. Your I-20 form will be requested at that time.
