Dual Degree with Thunderbird University

The Fordham Graduate School of Business and the American Graduate School of International Management (“Thunderbird”) in Glendale, Arizona, have forged a partnership to offer a dual degree program, an MBA and Master’s in International Management (MIM).

The dual degree program requires a minimum of 75 credit hours – 45 credits at Fordham and 30 at Thunderbird. Attending full-time, students can complete all the requirements for both degrees in as little as 21 months. Participation in the dual degree program requires admission to and advance approval by both schools. Participating students can enroll in courses at either campus and take part in overseas programs and international projects sponsored by Thunderbird.

Post MBA

The Post MBA enables MBA graduates to further internationalize their knowledge of business practices and business environments. Because the MBA graduate (or the holder of a similar graduate degree) has a solid foundation in Graduate School of Business education, the Post MBA program at Thunderbird (which must be started no later than five years after graduation from Fordham) is designed to build upon that knowledge. A minimum of 30 credit hours are required. Students who are able to waive Level I language may be able to complete the program more quickly.

Overseas Programs

Thunderbird also has an Overseas Program, in which Fordham students may participate. Students enhance their knowledge and experience in the global business environment through participation in special study programs located around the globe.
