Experiential Learning for Exponential Impact
Thunderbird applied learning courses enable students to actively apply course material to real-world, real-time organizational challenges. Offered in a variety of formats, the courses involve business consulting in team-based, client-facing projects that range from full-time on-site work in another country to campus-based work. Student consultants are competitively selected, culturally adaptive, smart and motivated. Through participation in Thunderbird's applied learning courses, students acquire real-world experience, learn to work in cross-cultural teams, gain insights into new functions and industries and get strong resume building experiences.

The Power of Entrepreneurship
Teaching people how to create something from nothing, driven by their own vision, fueled by their own abilities and determination has always been a part of what Thunderbird does. We have been teaching people how to bootstrap at Thunderbird long before it became a part of business vocabulary. We’ve done it, because in many emerging markets entrepreneurship is one of the few ways people can lift themselves out of poverty. Our Thunderbird for Good division leads this mission with a collection of highly regarded programs that deliver entrepreneurial training to individuals in emerging or underserved markets, particularly women.
