Malaysia - INTI College

Program Overview

In 2003, INTI College and Northwood University signed an agreement to begin planning for NU to offer the bachelor of business administration (BBA) in Marketing/Management at the Subang Jaya campus of INTI College in Malaysia. INTI College is a comprehensive, private college based in Malaysia with operations in Malaysia, Indonesia, and China. The agreement received Malaysian Ministry of Education approval in 2006.

Coursework is taught by a mixture of local/western adjunct faculty and NU faculty coming from the U.S. to give guest lectures. The NU-INTI program is based on a "4+0" format.

The program offers students the opportunity to:

  • earn the BBA degree entirely in Malaysia 
  • begin the coursework in Malaysia and then transfer to one of Northwood University's campuses in the United States.
  • INTI College is on a trimester format, with trimesters in the spring, summer, and fall.  Transfer students can also apply to the program.
