Setting you on the right track for a bright future

The American Degree Program, offered by KDU’s Center for American Education, is designed to prepare you with the skills and knowledge to continue your education in the USA. It allows you the flexibility to transfer to US universities of your choice and even to UK, Australia, New Zealand and Canada.

The program implements the American curriculum and teaching methods resulting in ADP graduates being well-prepared : personally, academically and socially, to adapt to university and life in the USA. This program has earned global recognition for its dedication to acculturate students with the spirit of inquiry and pursuit of knowledge through critical thinking, openness and exchange of ideas.

To attest to the quality of the American curriculum, the ADP subscribes to an important philosophy : "To prepare you for success, we must tap your full potential." It is dedicated to the ideal that each student should have the opportunity to achieve his/her fullest potential and commits himself/herself to sustaining a multi-cultural environment that celebrates diversity, affirms differences and provides links to the larger community and other countries.
