Top-notch US studies in Malaysia
SEGi Group of Colleges (SGC) offers the exclusive American Degree Program (ADP) and is one of the largest private higher institutions in Malaysia to offer a 4+0 programme in partnership with the reputable Troy University.
The ADP enables students to pursue their “American Dream” without having to leave Malaysia. This programme combines the best of American higher education and classroom learning that you will find in most universities in the United States.
With the ADP, students may gain entry with just their SPM or equivalent qualifications; they are not required to pursue foundation or pre-university studies.
It also provides an ideal pathway for Malaysian students who are looking for a foreign degree certificate.
Students may choose from a wide range of majors and minors under the ADP, which also provides broader opportunities such as Bachelor of Science in Communication Arts (minor in Promotion), Bachelor of Science in Communication Arts (minor in Psychology), Bachelor of Science in Psychology (minor in Communication Studies), Bachelor of Science in Psychology (minor in Global General Business) and Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (major in Global Business).
Nanthini Chelvam, a final-year ADP student at SEGi College Subang Jaya, recommends the ADP for those who like to have open discussions in the classroom.
“Overall, ADP was an awesome experience. It takes a lot to portray the confidence you gain in college life and taking classes, such as Public Speaking and Organisational Behaviour definitely helped me with that.
“It was not only an eyeopening college experience, but also a phase of life I will always cherish.”
Assessments are mainly based on coursework, followed by examinations. The coursework consists of participation, term papers, projects, quizzes and presentations.
Students will also have the opportunity to be taught in Malaysia by visiting Troy University professors who are highly trained and experienced.
Besides that, SEGi campuses are well equipped with learning facilities and staffed by helpful and friendly personnel.
Troy University is an accredited member of the Council of Higher Education Accreditation and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges in the United States, as well as the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs.
Troy University has been named “Top 10 in Alabama” by Forbes America’s Top Colleges, “One of the best Universities in the South-East” by the Princeton Review, “A Top-Tier University in the South” by US News & World Report and “One of the 25 top Best Buys among public universities and colleges in the United States” by Money Magazine.
Under the ADP, students will receive an American degree certificate in a conducive learning environment. It is also one of the most affordable US programmes in the Malaysian market at present.
Students may obtain PTPTN loans to fund their four-year degree studies. For deserving Muslim students, they may receive financial aid in the form of zakat.
