Thunder Bird Business School: The Producer of Champions Business schools are everywhere nowadays. All of them claim that they offer the best in business education. But when it comes to choice business schools, only a handful has proven that they can produce the best. And yes, Thunder Bird Business School is definitely one of them. The school was founded in 1946 by the great Lieutenant General Barton Kyle Yount. He was the Commanding General of the U.S. Army Air Training Command. During his time, General Yount envisioned that the country needed international executives and he knew that to answer that dream, he has to build a business school. The school that he built focused solely on International Management. It was in April 8, 1946 that this dream was realized. This business school is formerly a training facility for American, British, Canadian and Chinese World War II pilots. Some of the buildings that were used for this purpose could still be found in the campus today (the most prominent are the control tower on the airfield, hangars and barracks). It also boasts of being the largest and oldest graduate management teaching facility in all of the United States. Even up to now, its aim is still to prepare and produce global business leaders, which is evident on its mission statement-- "We educate global leaders who create sustainable prosperity worldwide." Some of the achievements that the school is truly proud of are the following (and these are just the most current awards given to the school): 1. #1 International Business (with its 7th consecutive first ranking)/The Wall Street Journal/Harris Interactive Survey of Corporate Recruiters 2007. 2. #1 Best in International Business Full-time MBA/Financial Times 2007. 3. #7 Most Family Friendly-Best Business Schools/Princeton Review 2007 4. #2 International Clients Custom Programs/Financial Times 2007 5. #1 International Programs (with its 12th consecutive first ranking)/U.S. News & World Report 2008.
