Thunderbird ranks #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 16th 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.”

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 South Carolina (Moore)
3. U. of Pennsylvania (Wharton)
4. Duke University (Fuqua) (NC)

7. New York University (Stern)
8. Columbia University (NY)
8. University of Southern California (Marshall)
