“I came to Beijing to get reconnected with my roots, become completely fluent in Mandarin, and be at the place where business innovation is at its turning point and since I arrived, Tsinghua has satisfied all of those longings and more. Just like any MBA program, it is what you make of it, but it's especially true at a place where the world economy is calling home. The challenging and enriching year I've had at Tsinghua has better prepared me for doing business in China. While the upcoming year at MIT will open my mind to the world of entrepreneurship and innovation. This is truly the best business school education I can imagine.”- Lucy Zhao

 “Coming from IT and Telecom background，I am interested in internet and high-tech entrepreneurship. I wish I can start my own business focusing on new social networking area in China or U.S. It's so well known that both MIT and Tsinghua have concrete knowledge foundation and positive atmosphere in entrepreneurship that I can be well prepared for my goal. The Tsinghua iMBA and MIT MSMS networks also make me know many talents in the same camp. Not only the highly efficient communications between me and my classmates but also our long lived friendship will be memorable forever. Thanks to Tsinghua and MIT for the precious educational experience which I believe will contribute to my whole career life.” – Leon Liu

  “As a former Tsinghua graduate, I am pretty confident about the quality of education that I will get here.Not surprisingly, all my fellow students are excellent and I really appreciate working together with these brilliant minds.

Tsinghua and MIT share similar cultures in the aspects of emphasizing both knowledge and practice. The Tsinghua MBA-Sloan MSMS dual-degree program is an excellent combination of two top programs from both China and US. I am so excited to get enrolled and I strongly encourage every prospective student to have a try. It is for sure worth your effort.” – Crystal Shi

  “The dual degree program is a great opportunity for students as it allows me to learn from two of the most recognizable institutions in the world. Tsinghua’s IMBA program gave me a good understanding of China. Through rigorous classes, group assignments and networking with friends outside of school, I gained good knowledge of how the society operates and how people interact in the country. I lacked China exposure before Tsinghua, and now I am confident to say I have good insight about the country. I jumped on the dual degree program as it will be a tremendous experience to spend the second year at MIT Sloan and learn from some of the brightest minds in the world. The level of talent, qualification of people, as well as the networking opportunities presented at MIT are all first class. It is a rare opportunity to obtain two degrees in two years from the East and West, and I am certain the experience will greatly enhance my personal and professional development.” – Kevin Chen

 “This is an excellent opportunity that allows one to leverage the brands and capabilities of MIT and Tsinghua. This is the only program I have seen that is all elective-based, allowing one to tailor it to meet the needs and interests of the student.  Being able to walk away after two years with a degree from both MIT and Tsinghua seemed like too good of an opportunity to pass up.” – Jon Shan
