St. Joseph's College, Tiruchirappalli launched a new initiative American Transfer Program (ATP) with Concordia College in New York. To enter this program, Students must be accepted to St. Joseph's College under their normal admission process and meet the established criteria. ATP provides opportunities for students who are interested in obtaining an American degree. Under the programme students will study at St. Joseph's College for 4 semesters pursuing coursework in business, Social Sciences or Humanities and then transfer to Concordia for three semesters to obtain their American undergraduate degree.

ATP minimizes the cost of an American education by allowing students to study in India for year also minimizes the risks for students enrolled in program. If for some unforeseen the Students are unable to transfer to Concordia, the student will be allowed to continue their studies at St. Joseph's College and earn their degree locally.
