Flexible path to top US liberal arts degree

THE American Degree Program (ADP) at SEGi College Penang is a top choice for students wishing to directly enter a degree programme after SPM without having to take preuniversity courses.

The ADP in partnership with Troy University, Alabama, USA, brings the flexibility of an American education.

Students can choose among three majors which are Global Business, Psychology with a minor in Communication Studies or Psychology with a minor in Global General Business.

Students start by enrolling in one of these majors but if they want to change to a major that is more aligned with their interests, they can do so after two years of study at SEGi College Penang.

There is a wide range of majors at the Troy campus in the US, which include Forensic Accounting, Economics, Marine Biology, Computer Science, Data Analytics, Entrepreneurship, Hospitality Management, Social Work, Political Science, Risk Management/ Insurance, Graphic Design, Sports Management and many more.

That is the beauty of an American liberal arts education: students can take general education courses in the first two years and then transfer to Troy University to complete their major courses in the final two years.

On the other hand, those with interest in majoring in Psychology or Global Business can study all four years at SEGi College Penang.

SEGi is the only institution in the northern region offering an American Degree Program in a 4+0 configuration that is fully partnered with a major regional state university in the American South, Troy University.

The course helps students to reduce costs to about RM14,000 annually and they will learn and benefit much from American professors teaching ten courses in the Global Business major and six courses in the Psychology major.

This unique teaching and learning experience keeps the standards of SEGi College’s ADP equal to those at the Troy campus in the USA. The American professors deliver both cutting-edge subject content.

Further flexibility is provided by the 3+1 option in which students can proceed to Troy to complete their final year in Psychology or Global Business on a Troy scholarship. By doing so, students graduating in the USA avail themselves of a 12-month Optional Practical Training period which can be converted to an H1-B visa through successful job performance.

An American liberal arts education trains students to be effective employees in the global marketplace. Both critical and creative thinking are emphasised.

SEGi College Penang offers scholarships for top achievers as well as state and national athletes.
