The American Degree Program (ADP) or the American Degree Transfer Program (ADTP) functions pretty much like a foundation course to prepare you for American degrees. Whether or not you are intending to take your degree in America or not, this is the most important qualification you need to do as pre-requisite. The difference between the 2 is that ADTP is typically a twinning program while ADP is accepted in most American universities as well as some in the UK, Australia and New Zealand.
Entry requirements into these programs is the usual 5 credits in SPM or in the ‘O’ Levels which must include mathematics and English Language. This is because apart from giving you a good head start with the calculation modules, it also let you understand the new university life better because all the conversations would be conducted in English Language, unless of course you are taking French or Spanish.
You have to first understand that American education system before thinking about enrolling into the ADP or the ADTP. The most important factor here is to recognize the fact that the American education system differs very much from the conventional English style of education where you are assessed based on your level. In the American Degree Program, you are not required to know what you want to do prior to starting out in undergraduate.
The American education system functions in such a way that credit hours are accumulative ‘points’ in order for you to qualify for further specialization. Hence you will find an array of modules offered in various fields which you can choose to take and then embark on your third and fourth undergraduate years in the specialization. That means, if you are intending to take up a BSc in Business Administration, your first 2 years would include all sorts of modules.
It is not a pre-requisite that you have to take all the business fundamental modules before embarking into the degree years. In fact, you might be taking up modules like French, Web Technologies and such, all of which might not be closely connected to the degree which you are interested in.
