Chinese Finance Students

Two-Plus-Two Program

Three students from the China University of Petroleum, Beijing, recently joined the Collins College of Business as part of a "two-plus-two" program. The students have completed two years at CUPB and now will complete two years at TU. In turn, they will earn two degrees.

Chenchao Yun, Zheng Zhang, and Yingshu Liu will earn Finance degrees from the Collins College of Business during their time here.  This is the students' first trips to the United States.  "I am looking forward to my life here in the next two years.  Everything here is as beautiful as a picture," Zheng Zhang says about the TU campus.  Chenchao Yun describes people from Tulsa as "very friendly."  Tulsa is a very clear and quiet city.  I like it here very much," said Yingshu Liu.

In total, twelve students, eleven undergraduate and one graduate, were picked and invited based on their grades and an interview conducted by Dr. J. Markham Collins, Associate Dean for Academic Programs, Dr. Cheryl Matherly, Associate Dean and Director of the Center for Global Education, and Dr. Holden Zhang, Assistant Professor of Petroleum Engineering.  The other nine students are studying Petroleum Engineering.

Students in the Collins College of Business develop a complete foundation for success: business skills, professional attitudes and experiences that tie it all together.

Business programs in accounting, economics, energy management, finance, Management information systems (MIS), management, and marketing bridge timeless fundamentals and emerging trends. We pay special attention to the shaping forces of globalization and technological change.

Health Sciences

The college also offers degrees in nursing, athletic training, and exercise and sports science. These programs produce skilled health professionals who understand the business side of their fields.

Making It Special

Students can target specific careers through our special programs like business law or innovation and product development. Students interested in international careers can take advantage of our bachelor of science in International Business and Language. For "fast-trackers," the college offers a combined bachelor's and law degree program, as well as several graduate dual degree programs.

Individual Attention from Full Time Faculty

To provide its students with an environment that encourages personal success, the College strives to maintain low student-to-faculty ratios in its classes and of course, classes taught by full time college faculty.

Relevant, Global Focus

The College has designed a curriculum that exposes students to a wide range of business knowledge and experience. The College offers all business majors a variety of unique opportunities to travel and observe business practices throughout the world.

Rounding Out Your Education

Through other unique classroom experiences and valuable internships, our students receive a 'well rounded' education which prepares them to meet the challenges of a changing world. The Williams Risk Management Center and Studio Blue provide experiential learning and professional development. Professional clubs and organizations enrich the experience with guest speakers, service projects and social events that pull together students and local business professionals.

Tulsa-A Great Place To Be

Tulsa, Oklahoma, is an active and important business hub in the central United States, with a solid presence in finance, energy, communications and data, medicine, aerospace, transportation and education. TU's relationships with area business leaders provide valuable input and internship and employment opportunities.
