American Degree Transfer Program

Overview

The ADTP has been developed specifically to allow students to complete the first part of an American degree at Sunway University. The program has been designed in consultation with American universities to ensure that students can transfer seamlessly to America to complete their studies. Patterned after the American undergraduate degree program, Sunway University's ADTP provides students with a mixture of major-specific and general education courses, ensuring that students are well-prepared for the next phase of their studies in the U.S.. Alongside their academic studies, students are encouraged to take part in a range of extracurricular activities, including community service, leadership and sporting opportunities. As students move towards completion of their studies at Sunway, we will help them prepare their applications to the universities of their choice. For more information, please see the ADTP Profile and Course Catalog.

Core subjects are subjects that provide knowledge required for specific majors or fields of study. These subjects prepare the students for higher level courses in their chosen major. Students need to complete these subjects before taking their major subjects. Subjects in this area may range between 20 and 30 credit hours.

General Education subjects are referred to as General Education Requirements, and are compulsory for all students to broaden their exposure. These subjects will provide students with an overview of other disciplines and help them in their future career advancement. Subjects in this area may range between 25 and 35 credit hours.

MOHE subjects are required by the Ministry of Higher Education. The subjects will help students appreciate Malaysian culture. The cost of the subjects is already included in the resource fee. Students are encouraged to include these subjects for their transfer. Some U.S. universities accept subjects in this area to fulfill a general requirement or an elective requirement.
