Introduction
The American Degree Transfer Programme (ADTP) is a flexible credit transfer programme that gives students a seamless transition to universities across the United States. Students are given 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 will complete 24-65 credit hours in MCKL, while the remainder of their credit hours will be completed in a US university of their choice before launching into their career paths. Availability of Optional Practical Training (OPT) in the education system provides opportunities for graduates to gain industrial experience in the US and widen their network in their respective fields.
