Mission
We educate global leaders who create sustainable prosperity worldwide.
Vision
We will dramatically grow our positive impact in a world economy in dire need of the global leadership talent we were founded to provide.
The Oath We Take
Global leaders are entrusted with authority, governance and influence over people and profits. But more than that, leaders are entrusted with responsibility and accountability. Their actions hold great power – to create or destroy value, to build communities or tear them down, to establish a society of stability or one of volatility. Conducting business as ethical global citizens is paramount. And at Thunderbird, it’s our pledge. Read Thunderbird's Professional Oath of Honor.
