American Degree Transfer Program (ADTP)

The American Degree Transfer Program (ADTP) is a program designed for students who want to start their undergraduate studies in their home country (often in Malaysia, India, or other countries) and then transfer to a university in the United States, Canada, or other countries to complete their degree.

Key Features of ADTP :

1. Flexible Transfer System – Students typically complete 1-2 years of their degree locally before transferring to a U.S. or Canadian university.
2. Wide Choice of Majors – Students can pursue degrees in various fields, including Engineering, Business, Computer Science, Psychology, and more.
3. Cost Savings – Completing the first part of the degree in a home country reduces tuition and living expenses.
4. General Education Requirements – The program follows the U.S. education system, emphasizing liberal arts education, meaning students take a mix of subjects before specializing in their major.
5. Partner Universities – Many ADTP programs have transfer agreements with top universities in the U.S. and Canada, ensuring a smoother transfer process.
