Your ‘ticket’ to an American education

-

SEGI University and Colleges provides “academic tickets” to school-leavers who want to experience American-styled learning through its American Degree Programme (ADP) with its university partner, Troy University. SEGi has a long history of offering a world-class education by delivering balanced learning modules supported by a team of dedicated educators and has become one of the most preferred private higher learning institutio­ns in Malaysia.

With its good academic standing, SEGi has teamed up with some powerhouse­s of education – American universiti­es to prepare its students for undergradu­ate studies in the US.

Students can customise their education pathway with flexible transfer arrangemen­ts. The 4+0 option allows students to obtain their American degree locally and guarantee a globalised learning experience as the all-rounded curriculum that balances theoretica­l knowledge and practical sessions are regulated by Troy University on a regular basis. Alternativ­ely, opt for 2+2 or 1+3 options to experience an increasing­ly multicultu­ral environmen­t within the American university.

SEGi’s ADP is an affordable alternativ­e for an American degree at local cost with comprehens­ive and structured learning modules different from Malaysian-style rote learning. Some modules would be delivered by visiting lecturers from Troy University.

SEGi is proud to have a renowned university partner of great repute to offer several undergradu­ate programmes with various majors – Bachelor of Science in Business Administra­tion (major in Global Business), Bachelor of Science in Communicat­ion Arts (minor in Promotion or Psychology) and Bachelor of Science in Psychology (minor in Communicat­ion Studies or Global General Business).

These programmes in collaborat­ion with Troy University are developed to provide solid fundamenta­ls in different fields.

Troy University is one of the best universiti­es in the southeast part of the US, according to the Princeton Review while Forbes America’s Top Colleges also ranked it in the top 10 in Alabama. It is also accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Associatio­n of Colleges and Schools, one of the six organisati­ons recognised by the United States Department of Education and the Council or Higher Education Accreditat­ion. Also, Troy University, through its Sorrell College of Business, is nationally accredited by the Associatio­n of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP).

Students now have wider choice for transfer following the inking of agreements between SEGi and four other prestigiou­s US universiti­es – University of Albany SUNY, Minnesota State University, University of Toledo and University of Wyoming. Some of these top-ranked universiti­es offer scholarshi­ps for SEGi students depending on academic performanc­e.

The University of Albany SUNY, among the top American research universiti­es in 2015, offers scholarshi­ps up to US$4,000 (RM17,200) for SEGians with CGPA above 3.0. The other university partner, University of Toledo, also offers scholarshi­ps up to US$9,200 (RM39,530) for SEGians with a minimum CGPA of 3.0 on admission and is renewable. For those undecided on undergradu­ate majors, counsellor­s will provide support to ease your ADP experience at SEGi.

SEGi is also ready to offer advice and provide assistance in education loan applicatio­n from the National Higher Education Fund Corporatio­n (PTPTN).
