Walking tours of the campus are scheduled every Monday, Thursday, and Friday of the school year. Tours begin at noon and include a complimentary lunch in the student dining hall followed by information sessions. The number and diversity of the students makes Thunderbird a very challenging institution. However, because there are so many students, there is a lot of competition for the jobs and interviews on campus. Companies usually begin reviewing resumes in the Fall and interviewing in the Spring.
Thunderbird students graduate at the end of Fall, Spring, or Summer.
This is what makes Thunderbird stand out from the rest. Instead of being forced to follow a rigid structure, I was free to choose classes that allowed me to strengthen my weaknesses and apply my previous work experience. Also, I like the fact that the program is not rigid. You have up to five years to complete the program, allowing one to take internships and adhere to your own schedule. There is room for leadership and for getting involved at T-Bird.
