    About Bachelor of International Business and Language

    As companies expand into new markets, managers must understand the cultures of global stakeholders. TU's international business and language major combines foreign language competency and course work in international business in a business degree. A comprehensive business foundation combined with an understanding of cultural nuances enable graduates to compete successfully in an international arena.

    Access to convenient international travel and instant communication technologies have virtually eliminated perceptual and real distance between countries. In many parts of the world, political borders have become irrelevant while proficiency in two or more languages is increasingly the norm in the business arena. This degree provides an exceptional opportunity for students to attain the necessary tools to compete in an increasingly global marketplace.

    The major in international business and language combines three components: business foundations and functional areas of international business; greater familiarity with cultural imperatives; and advanced training in French, German or Spanish studies. Students almost complete coursework equivalent to a language major as part of the International Business and Language program.

    The language component is designed to enable students to develop a high level of communicative proficiency and cultural literacy in preparation for using the target language in their professional lives.

    With more than 60 countries represented on the TU campus each semester, international business majors have the opportunity to compare cultural practices and their impact on business in many countries. Exchange students from China, Germany, France, Russia, Switzerland, Ireland, Latin America and Africa provide an excellent resource of native speakers and comparative cultures as well.

    International business majors may apply to live in Language House, an on-campus apartment complex populated with native speakers and other motivated students trying to master target language fluency and raising cultural literacy and sensitivity.

    International Business and Language TU's international business and language degree prepares students for success in the global marketplace.

    Requirements and Admission Criteria for Bachelor of International Business and Language at University of Tulsa

    Entry Requirements

    Let’s start with your grade point average (GPA). Yale admissions officers will calculate based on your high school transcript, which you’ll submit with your overall application.

    Last year, the reported average high school GPA of an admitted student at Yale was a 4.19 out of 4.0, what we call a “weighted” GPA. However, unweighted GPAs are not very useful, because high schools weight GPAs differently. In truth, you need close to a 4.0 unweighted GPA to get into Yale. That means nearly straight As in every class.

    Yale, like the rest of the Ivy League and most other colleges, requires either the SAT or ACT for admission. They have no preference between them, so choose the test that’s a better fit for you, thoroughly prepare for it, and plan to take it multiple times.

    The average SAT and ACT composite scores for admitted students at Yale varies, as you can see in the table below. However, keep in mind that unless you fall into certain privileged categories (athletes, legacies, donors, etc.), your SAT/ACT score should be closer to the 75th percentile than the 25th percentile to ensure you’re maximizing your chances of admission.

    English Requirements

    • IELTSMin 6
    • TOEFLMin 70

    English Program Requirements

    TOEFL or IELTS is required of most applicants whose native language is not English.

    If you have received (or will receive) an undergraduate degree from a college or university where English is the primary language of instruction, and if you have studied in residence at that institution for at least three years, you are exempt from the English Language Test requirement and are not required to submit the TOEFL or IELTS

    No exemptions are made on the basis of an advanced degree (e.g. M.A./M.S. or Ph.D.) from any institution.

    When you complete your application, you will answer questions about your native language and the primary language of instruction at your baccalaureate institution. If either was English, you will not be required to submit TOEFL or IELTS scores when you submit your application. No separate documentation is necessary.
