Dual Degree Program for PSB Students
Students from Paris School of Business (PSB) in Paris, France who have completed their second year of coursework may transfer to the Tabor School of Business and take an additional 35 hours of academic credit. This additional course work fulfills the requirement for the Bachelor of Science degree in Management from Millikin University. The curriculum was developed by PSB and the Tabor faculty to fill gaps in the PSB program with Tabor’s strong emphasis on the connections between theory and practice.
This dual degree program strengthens the value of these students’ education in several ways:
- An educational experience in the United States business environment is highly valued.
- PSB students need the opportunity to improve their decision-making and application-based business skills. The Tabor School is particularly well equipped to help them develop these skills, as well as, team and presentation skills.
- It provides the students with an opportunity to practice their English both in the classroom and in a business environment.
- It allows the students to develop a broad-based understanding of U.S. culture and its implications for business decisions.
- It enables the students to understand the connection of business theory to practice.
- It provides students a better understanding of the integration of the various business functions.
Admission Procedures
A semester prior to entering the Tabor program a student must complete the following:
- Submit an Official Transcript translated into English.
