Why Study An
American Degree
Program?
The Upper Iowa University (UIU) Bachelor of Science (4+0) program at SEGi provides
students with the opportunity to experience US-styled education. This style of education
focuses heavily on the practical elements of learning with an emphasis on classroom
interaction between the students and lecturers as well as on continuous learning through
group projects, presentations and field trips outside the classroom. The American Degree
Program focuses more on assessing the students through course work and places less
emphasis on examinations.
The UIU Bachelor of Science (4+0) program also allows for full completion of studies locally
at SEGi. Alternatively students have the flexibility to interchange between SEGi and UIU’s
Fayette Campus in the United States.
Student Clubs
Student interaction, participation and activities are important aspects of the UIU American
Degree program both socially and academically. Thus, SEGi’s American Degree Program
students and lecturers have come together to form student clubs. The main aim of the student
clubs is to provide students and lecturers with a constructive ground for social gatherings as
well as to increase awareness within their respective fields and make available a forum for
sharing ideas and information regarding global issues.

Program Modules
Communications
The Communications major is
interdisciplinary in nature, reflecting the
belief that all communication media
are engaged in essentially the same
process (gathering information and
creating and disseminating messages)
and that the present-day communication
professional must be schooled in the
basic skills— writing, speaking and visual
communication.
 
The broad aim of the program is to
develop each student’s potential for
critical thinking and creative ability.
Graduates of the Communications major
may pursue a career across a wide range
of disciplines.
Management
Management in business refers to the act
of getting people together to accomplish
desired goals, comprising planning,
organizing, resourcing, leading and
controlling an organization (a group of one
or more people or entities) for the purpose
of accomplishing a goal.
 
The Management major is designed to
build on the foundation of the business
core to enable the learner to apply
theoretical organizational strategies
to practical business situations and to
present, analyze and evaluate options to
effectively integrate material and human
resources for enhanced productivity
toward a socially responsible end.
Psychology 
Psychology is both an academic and
applied discipline concerned with the
scientific study of mental processes and
behavior. Psychology seeks to explain
thought, emotion and behavior in the
context of real life.
 
The study of psychology offers the
opportunity to learn about the origins
and development of human behavior and
mental processes and the factors that
influence change. Psychology provides
a valuable foundation of knowledge
important in a wide variety of fields
including human services, business, law
and education.
Business Administration
The Business Administration major is a creative
and flexible program of study which equips
students with a broad understanding across
the disciplines of business and commerce.
This major aims to provide students with the
analytical and operational skills required to
operate effectively and face everyday problems.
Students receive a foundation in all aspects
of business such as banking and financial
services, business management, international
business and marketing.
