American Degree Transfer Program (ADTP)

American Degree Transfer Program

At Sunway University, we offer a 'True-Credit Transfer Program' to Western Michigan University as well as transfers to other U.S., Canadian and Australian universities based on credits earned. This program provides the opportunity for students to choose the combination that best suits their needs.

Using almost the exact syllabi and course curricula of our collaborator partner, Western Michigan University (WMU), our students are guaranteed acceptance into this prestigious institution through a true-credit transfer arrangement. The quality of our ADTP is assured as we adhere to the WMU syllabi and our examination papers are moderated by WMU. Credit transfers will thus be benchmarked against quality.

As WMU is widely recognized in the United States, our students will also have the flexibility to transfer their credit hours to other top U.S. and Canadian universities, should they decide not to have the benefits of twinning with WMU. Moreover, our program is fully accredited by the Ministry of Education (MOE), Malaysia.

ADTP at Sunway University provides students with exposure to:

Flexible and adaptable educational system, which includes interactive and creative learning through academic forums
Sports and extracurricular activities, which enable students to gain industry and community experiences and leadership qualities

By completing part of the degree in Sunway University, instead of doing it entirely in U.S., students can usually save 40% of the cost. Moreover, students can save time by immediately pursuing their degree upon completion of secondary school, without going through any pre-university program. Upon completion of the partial studies (at least 1.5 - 2 years) in Sunway University, students can transfer to WMU or other universities in the United States and Canada.

Career Prospects

An American education prepares students for a lifelong career, not just a job. Graduates will learn the skills needed for employment as well as the kind of broad education that will guide them to a lifetime of career opportunities. A host of on-campus resources are available to assist students in identifying and preparing for a successful career. These services include resume writing, internship arrangement, trainee programs and on-campus recruitment. Students are allowed to work up to 20 hours per week on campus; enjoy internship as part of their curriculum during their undergraduate course; and be linked up for Optional Practical Training for one year after graduation.
