The University of Tulsa, in partnership with the Moscow Institute of Electronics Technology (MIET), established Institute for International Business Education (IBE) in 1992 to bring American-style higher education in business to Russia.  IBE was the first Western-style business curriculum to be approved by the Russian Ministry of Education.  Subsequently, the IBE project was rated among the top three programs by the United States Information Agency in 1995.  IBE was fully accredited by the Russian Ministry of Education in 1999.  Graduates of IBE are currently working for such firms as Arthur Andersen, P&G, Motorola, and Nokia.  For information regarding this program, please contact the IBE Rector, L. Yakovleva, or TU Project Directors, R. Monroe and  S. Samiee.
