Abstract

This paper reviews the application of a unique combination of distance education methodologies by MUCIA Global Education Group, Inc and the American Degree Program at PPP/ITM in order to alleviate critical deficiencies in human resources and curricular content found at the latter. The introduction describes the growing crisis in higher education in Malaysia, in particular, the dilemma of addressing increasing enrollments with limited resources. The paper then reviews the decade of cooperation between MUCIA and ADP PPP/ITM that eventually led to the application of distance education methods and practices. Finally, the paper reviews the MUCIA Global/ADP program by examining each of its components and assessing its strengths and weaknesses as well as those of the program as a whole.
