• Second semester – complete an internship abroad with an engineering firm, tech company, or lab in the target language.

Engineering and science tracks include biochemistry, biology, biology pre-med, chemical engineering, chemistry, computer science, electrical engineering, electrical and computer engineering, physics, engineering physics, mathematics, mechanical engineering, and others.

Eligibility Requirements

Prospective students who have been admitted to UTulsa should apply by February 1. Current students can apply to the IEL/ISL program after they have been admitted.
