Thunderbird ranks No. 1 again for International Business

Thunderbird School of Global Management has again been ranked as the No.1 school for international business in the United States by U.S. News & World Report magazine. This is the 15th consecutive year Thunderbird has earned this distinction, and it marks the school’s second No.1 ranking in international business by top business publications in the past four months.

Thunderbird was ranked No. 1 in International Business by the Financial Times in its annual worldwide ranking of full-time MBA programs in January.

“Thunderbird’s consistent ranking as No. 1 in International Business by the world’s top business publications is a testament to our long-standing expertise in developing global leaders who can launch successful global careers and enterprises that are both profitable and sustainable,” said Thunderbird President Ángel Cabrera.

“Our graduates understand the importance of sustainable business practices and are skilled in producing real, lasting value for their companies, communities, and the world.”

U.S. News & World Report’s 2011 edition of America’s Best Graduate Schools will be highlighted in the magazine’s May issue, which will be available on newsstands April 27.

The International specialty ranking was determined by a survey of business school deans and program directors, who nominated the top 10 programs for excellence in 12 specialty areas.

The top 10 schools in the “International” category are:

1. Thunderbird School of Global Management (AZ)
2. U. of Pennsylvania (Wharton)
3. U. of South Carolina (Moore)
4. University of Michigan–Ann Arbor (Ross)
5. Harvard University (MA)
6. Columbia University (NY)
6. Duke University (Fuqua) (NC)
6. New York University (Stern)
9. University of California–Berkeley (Haas)
10. University of Southern California (Marshall)

Thunderbird, which has specialized in global business education for more than 60 years, offers a wide range of degree and nondegree programs for full-time students and working professionals, including a recently launched Evening MBA, which will allow working professionals in Arizona to keep their jobs while attending classes at night. Other signature programs include the traditional and accelerated MBA, the Executive MBA, the Distance Learning Global MBA, the Global MBA for Latin American Managers, the Master of Science in Global Management and the Master of Arts in Global Affairs and Management.
