Course Overview

T

The American Degree Transfer Program (ADTP) is a flexible credit transfer program that gives students a seamless transition to universities across the United States. Students have the opportunity to explore a wide range of courses from various fields, ranging from physical sciences, life sciences to art, history, literature, philosophy, and even religious studies.

Students in ADTP will be prepared for their advanced studies in the U.S. education system and gain admissions into some of the top universities in the U.S. ADTP students will complete 24-65 credit hours in MCKL while the remainder of their credit hours will have to be completed in a U.S. university of their choice before launching into their career paths.

The availability of Optional Practical Training (OPT) in the education system provides opportunities for graduates to gain industrial experience in the U.S. while widen their network in their respective fields.
