Thunderbird School of Global Management

Did a final tour of the original campus. It has grown into a place that encourages the students to learn not only the subject matter but about other cultures and places. The Pub will be remembered as a place to relax and also build lasting friendships with people from many nations. Also visited the area where the school will be housed in the ASU downtown campus. Right know it is a bare lot, but soon it will be built and students will help to bring the same energy and excitement the old campus fostered.

Thunderbird School of Global Management is the top international business school in the world, especially considering the worldwide network of graduates built up over 75 years in metro Phoenix. At Global Chamber we’re proud to support and recommend the school, and we collaborate in multiple ways, including featuring events in the Global Forum, our office in the Community Room, in classrooms across the building, and in The Pub.

It costs over $3000.00 USD to have the 'free' 100,000,000 Learners graduate certificate courses graded and placed on a transcript. Shameful and misleading. Twenty years ago Thunderbird was the preeminent school of international business. ASU has eviscerated the school. Now it is merely a name on a mediocre ASU management program.

It's an interesting place to be. Everyone here is family and eager to assist whenever you need help. People around are so friendly and welcoming.

Over the years since graduating I have been able to utilize the T-Bird connect and First Tuesday meeting to build a lot of amazing and valuable connections. The Thunderfest events held around the world every October have been great as well. These events are run by local T-birds in your community and supported by the school, so don't be afraid to start your own. (however the organizer for my local chapter changed and that led to some issues). Still, these events plus the internal social network may be the most valuable part of this school. Wherever you go, you will likely be able to find a fellow T-bird to reach out to and connect with. I have even been able to utalize this network to help build business opportunities.

Despite contacting people for several weeks nobody responded again. They instead gave me a 0 on the assignment severl weeks after they posted grades anyway. This school has no integrity. (Posted November 2019) Looking back, the school also did a poor job handling the covid epidemic. Instead of taking the opportunity to show how international businesses could benefit from online consulting from its online students, they just canceled most all of the consulting labs essentially hanging students out to dry. As the opportunity to work within international business and have my opportunity to show what I could do in that regard was one of the main reasons I chose this school, I feel somewhat betrayed. I now carry this student debt and have very little to show for it as the degree is not worth as much as the experience of the promised internship when applying for jobs. While I am grateful to have met wonderful people and show my skills academically, I do not feel satisfied by any of my experiences at Thunderbird. (Posted March 2021). Graduated December 2020

I went to this school. You will never be short of friends wherever in the world you end up, all cause of 45k alums scattered across the globe. MBA is rigorous and has good reputation among employers. Many of my friends have end up in great companies. Tbird MBA will change you and your view of the world like no other in the world. That's why it is No.1 in International Business.

Best experience of my education. Graduated in 1967, giving the valedictory address in Portuguese. Professors were retired experts in their fields. Language program was intense but easy to learn. Though only 20 years old, Thunderbird was a fresh look to the future.
