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 ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ University. The curriculum was developed by PSB and the Tabor faculty to fill gaps in the PSB program with Taborβs strong emphasis on the connections between theory and practice.
This dual degree program strengthens the value of these studentsβ 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.

Upon completion of the above steps, the studentβs application will be reviewed by the Office of Admissions through their international student admission process.
