Hello Professionals!
I would like to ask a few questions regarding transferring to a university in the US. I'm currently in the second year of my Mech. Eng. Diploma programme and these are my questions :
1) I'd like to use my Diploma credit hours to transfer. Will the university accept those credits?
2) Can I transfer DURING the diploma course?
3) I have gone through 1 year of my course. So I have approx. 33 credits right now in UNITEN. How can I check the amount of credits that can be successfully transferred in...for example Ohio State or Purdue?
Thanks!
1. Depending on the universities,This you need to ask directly to the respective uni that you wish to enter,try sending them an email.
2. no you can't.. AFAIK there is no diploma courses in US universities, only the degree level.(i might be wrong though)
3. I suggest you to finish your diploma first.and again about the credits transfer,u need to ask the respective unis..
Usually the normal path for students in malaysia to gain admission and get the transfers credit to US unis is by doing ADP program.theres also some that successfully transfer credits by doing their bachelor degree here..but i never heard about doing credit transfers using diploma though. If u really wish to further study in US,consider taking SAT and TOEFL(preferred for US) or IELTS and apply directly.
however, some UK universities do consider diploma cert from malaysia for admission to their bachelor degree courses. Example:
