Destination TULSA - Why IB Students Choose The University of Tulsa

Room: Arkansas

presented by Rick Arrington, IB Recruitment Coordinator, The University of Tulsa

This session will focus on why colleges should target IB students for admission and why and how The University of Tulsa has strongly recruited IB students for the last six years. We will also talk about the results of that recruiting - for our university and for the students involved. Find out about an "exemplary" IB recognition policy - one that truly recognizes and rewards students' efforts as IB Diploma Programme students.
