Undergraduate Majors and Minors

The Bachelor of Science in International Business & Language (B.S.I.B.L.) combines the business core, emphasis on international business, and language proficiency in Chinese, French, German, Russian, or Spanish.

The international business (IB) studies minor is designed for students who are majoring in a business discipline. It combines a competency in a modern foreign language, international business courses, and selected electives addressing economics, international relations, and cultural awareness and understanding. In addition to courses on the Tulsa campus, students in the IB minor are encouraged to participate in study abroad programs and have priority for TU-approved international business internships hosted by companies abroad.
