American Degree Transfer Program
So What About the American Degree Transfer Program?
The American Degree Transfer Program at Taylor’s (ADP) is a credit-transfer program that offers courses in the fields of business, actuarial science, engineering, computer science, mass communication, applied sciences, psychology, and liberal arts. Students complete about half of the degree requirements in ADP; the other half is completed at the university-of-choice in the U.S.
Students must complete about 40 courses over the duration of their studies, with about 20 courses completed in ADP and the remaining 20 completed in the U.S. Since the total duration is four years, students spend about two years in ADP and two years in the U.S. (“2+2” option).
Students can enroll in ADP directly after SPM, ‘O’ Levels or equivalent. It is not required to do a pre-U or foundation program first. However, upon enrollment in ADP, students must be focused on their studies from day one in order to successfully transfer to a university in the U.S.
A wide range of majors can be pursued in the above fields of study. While the majority of students transfer to U.S. universities, some students transfer to Canadian, Australian, Japanese and Korean universities.
Another feature of the ADP program is that we have an attractive pathway for students who have the ambition to enroll in an Ivy League university. The majority of Ivy League universities do not accept transfer students. However, numerous ADP students transferred successfully to these Ivy League schools after spending one year in ADP after high school. We refer to this as the “1+4” option.
