Why Thunderbird?
Why did you choose Thunderbird? I chose Thunderbird because I began to realize the growing importance of doing business with a global mindset and I wanted to meet others who possessed the same passions as me: foreign languages, traveling, diverse cultures, and making a global impact. Thunderbird is the only graduate program in the world that has all of that.
