=**International Experience & language for international students**=

International students, who were born and raised in a non-English-speaking country and have English as their second language (i.e., fluent in another language), do not need to have an international experience nor do they need to take a foreign language. We encourage these students to take courses that make them more familiar with the U.S. and that improve their English language skills (if warranted). Also, if the student's first language is one that is not mainstream to the international business world, we encourage (but don't require) that student to learn another language at OU. As a point of clarification: Brits and Aussies don't qualify by our definition of "international," since our IB students are required to go to a non-English-speaking country for their experience and know a language other than English. This is just an example, there may be others, on a case-by-case basis, that don't meet the terms of being "international" as defined by IB requirements.
 * From Dr. Ralston 6/9/2009:**

Asks students to work with the Modern Languages Department to obtain a "Native Speaker" memo. This form is on the K:drive; counselors; blanket memos; International Business. Languages accepted include many not taught at OU which require MLLL finding a professor or staff member fluent in the language and might take some time. Polish, Vietnamese, Korean, Ukrainian, Urdu, and Farsi are examples. Undocumented students are considered "international students" and follow this process also. This is common practice among the CUIBE consortium.
