Thunderbird inspired me to think outside of my comfort zone. The school truly has a global mindset and realizes that the world is becoming more connected. Thunderbird’s diverse student body provides international exposure to another degree. Thunderbird’s goal ultimately supports my goal: to be adaptable by gaining the necessary skills to thrive in any global climate.

Thunderbird specifically prepared me not only for the business aspects of professional life, but for the global marketplace in general. A Thunderbird education separates me from other potential candidates and gives me an advantage wherever my career takes me.

When I read Thunderbird’s mission – “We educate global leaders who create sustainable prosperity worldwide” – I immediately felt this was the school I was looking for; the school that would prepare me to make changes to the world and help in the sustainable development of my country.

Thunderbird has an international focus through every course. It is not just learning about other economic, social and cultural aspects of various countries, but also how it all works together to create the global environment. I am also very pleased by the practical experience opportunities I was exposed to through varied case studies and direct interactions with global companies.

When it came time to get my Master’s degree, Thunderbird was my obvious first and only choice. A top-ranked school for international business AND the reputation of being a small United Nations in the southwest? What could be more attractive to someone interested in different cultures who wants a degree that can propel his career?

Thunderbird offers an international business incubator. Thunderbird’s teaching strategy allows its diverse student body to learn by experience and discussion, which I truly believe strengthens and further develops the students’ global mindsets and prepares them to face the real issues in international business.

I wanted a college that could help me understand the distinct complexities of emerging markets on one hand and the dynamics of the mature markets on the other. Thunderbird had it all. I attended a Preview Weekend at Thunderbird and I knew that I belonged here! Thunderbird is not just about creating leaders; it is about creating leaders with a strong sense of ethics.
Yamini Sharma, India
Class of 2015
Thunderbird’s global mission, global outlook and global mindset pervade everything it does as an institution. Other programs and schools may offer a specialization in international business, but Thunderbird offers that focus through every aspect of its program. A Thunderbird education and the Thunderbird experience will do nothing but enhance my future career prospects.
