Curriculum

This Thunderbird and IUKD Master of Global Business/MBA dual degree program involves 80 percent online study. Coursework includes Web-based interactions and information sharing. The remaining 20 percent is face-to-face interaction with your classmates and faculty during three on-site learning experiences at Thunderbird, Indiana University and Beijing, China.

Because the curriculum includes simultaneous instruction in both domestic and international business aspects, you can begin to apply your new skills and knowledge to both from the beginning of the program. Visit the core curriculum page for course descriptions.
