As for ICPU, the college has one of the highest passing rates for this programmes in the world viz. 95% and above, similarly for the CAL and SAM programmes.
Besides the various pre-university programmes, there are also the School of Engineering, School of Law and School of Biomedical Science and school of which enable students to do twinning programmes with several international universities.
Besides the main Subang Jaya campus, there is also the Taylor's Business School which offer business degree courses in association with several international universities. Taylor’s Business Foundation (TBF) is a one-year pre-university program. It is designed for secondary school leavers who are interested in pursuing a career in business and commerce. TBF complements and serves as a quality alternative to pre-university courses, one that guarantees a smooth transition for school-leavers to pursue a business degree program. TBF is able to provide that because subjects taught in this program are of direct relevance to the course specialisation at the degree level. TBF has proven to be the best choice of a business foundation program because it is highly focused on exploring the innate strengths of our students. TBF students do not undertake standard subjects in the generalised concept of post-Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) education; instead they are taught subjects relevant to their business degree.
Across from the Taylor's Business School, is the American Degree Transfer Program. This program acts like an American community college, providing the first two years of college education. The courses are modeled after courses taught in American universities, using American books as well as the American grading system. The American Degree Transfer Program has had a significant amount of success, placing students in prestigious universities such as Cornell and Purdue University. Unfortunately, some universities in the CSU system take issue with transfer units from the American Degree Transfer Program thus causing a rocky transition for the student as well as possible low unit transfer rate. And the have sucky library computers. Led by the fat Mr Gunasegaran. Apparently the have a much better past director, Dr. R.
There is also the Petaling Jaya campus which offers degree courses such as Architecture, Computing, Mass Communication, Hospitality and Tourism, and Hotel Management.
The Taylor’s Computing Foundation (TCF) programme is the wired pathway to a computer science degree after SPM offered at Taylor's College Petaling Jaya. It is the most direct route to a computing degree, specifically designed to meet the demands for capable professionals in the information technology arena. This programme bridges the gap between theory and practice, and between academic and industry. Completion of this programme will provide students with an excellent foundation for further study to tertiary level in this rapidly progressing field. TCF provides students a solid base in guided modules that prepare them toward direct entry into Year One of a wide spectrum of Australian and British universities. Chief among these is the RMIT Bachelor of Applied Science in Computer Science or Information Technology.The school also has a set of extremely good lecturers who are guiding the students. They bring along with them a vast amount of experience.
