Thunderbird Ranks No. for International Business Thunderbird has been ranked as the No.1 school for international business in the United States by U.S. News & World Report magazine. This is the 13th consecutive year Thunderbird has earned this distinction, and it marks the school’s third No.1 ranking international business by top business publications in the past six 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, and the Wall Street Journal/Harris Interactive poll of corporate recruiters ranked Thunderbird No. 1 in International Business last September.

“These rankings confirm the fact that Thunderbird continues to lead the way in global management education.” said Ángel Cabrera, president of Thunderbird. “As the pace of globalization continues to accelerate, Thunderbird’s expertise in global management has never been more relevant and in demand.”
 
U.S. News & World Report’s 2009 edition of America’s Best Graduate Schools will be highlighted in the magazine’s April 7 edition, which will be available on newsstands March 31, and the full America’s Best Graduate School’s guidebook goes on sale April 1.

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.
