Where a Cyclone's path begins

For Malaysian institutions: INTI University College, Methodist College Kuala Lumpur, Sunway University, and Taylor's University College

The American Degree Transfer Program (ADTP) provides a unique pathway, allowing students to transfer to top universities, such as Iowa State University. Modeled after the American undergraduate degree program, ADTP offers a blend of major-specific and general education courses, ensuring students are well-prepared for the next phase of their studies.

Students will spend approximately 12-24 months (full-time) at an ADTP university and another 24-36 months (full-time) at the university they will complete their degree, whether in the USA, Canada, or other locations. While most students complete around 60 credits in ADTP before transferring overseas to finish their degrees, it is not mandatory to reach this credit threshold before transferring.

Potential majors

There are more than 100 majors available. Students can choose any field of study to major in whether in art-related fields, business, social sciences or “Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics”” (STEM) fields.

Popular majors include:

  • Actuarial science
  • Business
  • Communication
  • Computer science

Phoebe completed the American Degree Transfer Program through Methodist College Kuala Lumpur (MCKL). She transferred around 45 credits from MCKL to Iowa State. Find out more about her experience as a Cyclone.

I loved that my advisors, both in MCKL ADTP and at Iowa State, were very helpful. They worked with me to maximize my transfer credits. I couldn’t have picked a better college to transfer to!
