Thunderbird's global focus and cutting-edge business curriculum is the reason why.

Global Thought Leaders in International Business

Thunderbird is the oldest graduate management school focused exclusively on global business. Our faculty are recognized for innovative teaching methods, global best business practices and ground-breaking global research. Thunderbird case studies are used worldwide. As the leading authority on developing thought leaders to succeed and prosper in international business, Thunderbird students are prepared to fully participate in the global economy.

Global Mindset

Thunderbird students master far more than key business skills. They master the critical nuances of cross-cultural communications, negotiation and business risk. They are business leaders who operate locally with a global perspective. Thunderbird's unique curriculum supports the principle that to succeed on a global scale, executives must know the intricacies of business and understand the culture, language and customs of other countries.

Global Citizens

Nearly one-half of Thunderbird students are from outside the United States. Each year, over 500 students from around 50 countries matriculate into Thunderbird's Full-Time, Executive and Distance Learning MBA programs. The variety of their business and life experiences enriches and complements the global nature of the program and contributes to their future value in your organization.

Global Recruiting Made Easy

The full-service Career Management Center at Thunderbird helps you recruit Thunderbird students year 'round. Our students graduate 3 times a year, in May, August and December, and we have internship candidates available in the summer, fall, or spring.
