In 1946, 바카라사이트 Thunderbird School of Global Management (originally known as 바카라사이트 American Institute for Foreign Trade - AIFT) was established on Thunderbird Field, a historic World War II airbase. After 72 years in Glendale, Arizona, Thunderbird recently announced its move to Arizona State University’s Downtown Phoenix Campus into a state-of-바카라사이트-art building housing its graduate degree and executive education programmes.
While still named AIFT, Thunderbird became 바카라사이트 first higher education institution to focus exclusively on international management by concentrating 바카라사이트 curriculum on cross-cultural communication, regional business studies and hands-on real-life training in 바카라사이트 nuances of global business.
Operating in partnership with Arizona State University, Thunderbird offers several internationally focused graduate business degrees and professional certificates. It offers three main degree programmes – 바카라사이트 Master of Global Management, 바카라사이트 Master of Arts in Global Affairs and Management, and 바카라사이트 Master of Applied Leadership and Management.
