Move Beyond The Traditional MBA
In today’s competitive global marketplace, successful executives need more than traditional MBA skills alone – they need cross-cultural skills, language proficiency and a keen understanding of the political and professional environments of global business. Thunderbird’s Executive MBA-US program offers just that. Designed for working professionals with more than eight years of professional experience, this unique program runs concurrently with Thunderbird’s Geneva, Switzerland-based Executive MBA-Europe program, giving students in both cohorts multiple shared learning experiences and knowledge-sharing opportunities.
Global Students. Global Alumni.
The typical Executive MBA cohort consists of students from around the world. There is a remarkable diversity among classmates, providing opportunities for powerful in-personal and virtual interaction with your EMBA peers. Like our Executive MBA alumni, these students represent the best of the best in the global business community.
