    Student Experiences

    "I am enrolled in my first of three classes with Thunderbird. When I was researching what my next educational step should be, one phone conversation with a Thunderbird Online representative convinced me that Thunderbird would be the most beneficial program both educationally and professionally. He told me that what you learn in Thunderbird today, you will apply in your work place tomorrow."

    "I chose a Thunderbird Online certificate because of the quality and structure of the courses. The material and information have immediate applicability to my job. The online learning programs allow me the flexibility to do the work according to my schedule within the week. I have been very impressed by the quality instruction and the structure of the online classes."

    "Thunderbird Online's courses offer a unique learning experience because of the interactive learning process, multicultural environment and easy to navigate online learning system. By taking part in the online executive certificate, I have learned how to enhance my communication style and negotiation skills which have helped me become a more successful professional in a global working environment."

    "I will be using a lot of the concepts to develop programs and to improve the global area that I manage. I know that I will be able to negotiate as more of a problem-solver and collaborator to achieve superior outcomes in the future. Thanks for all of the terrific information - great class!! "

    "The Executive Certificate in Global Negotiations was eye opening for me, and the course material has been right on the money. I have absolutely loved this certificate and know that I have learned so much that I can apply to my daily activities. It has also fueled my desire to know even more about negotiations and its processes. I look forward to my next Thunderbird course!"

    "I am very satisfied with this course, including content, Professors, e-facilitator and Thunderbird Online support. Opposed to other "book" based programs that I've taken, I thoroughly enjoyed the multi-resource educational experience including videos, readings, quizzes, and more that this program provided. "

    "I just finished my first course and I only have good things to say about it. I did my studying three evenings per week, and found it very useful. The teacher is top notch, and I am looking forward to getting the complete executive certificate."

    "I am very thankful to be learning from and sharing knowledge and experience with many other people from various backgrounds through Thunderbird Online's program. It opens the door to thinking outside the box, looking at an issue from multiple dimensions, and learning to positively resolve conflicts. Thunderbird Online is one of the best interactive tools for people to communicate and share experiences. "

    "I enjoyed the course and certainly got a lot out of it. I do believe I have benefited and will be able to take new ideas into dealing with issues and opportunities at work. I liked the case vignettes the most as they fundamentally enhanced my learning of the various topics within the course."

    "The class is well thought out. It is global and local centric in terms of what should be considered in the sustainability spectrum. As a TBird alum, I was aware of the executive education programs at the school. Thunderbird has been producing well thought out programs for over 30 years. After my career was influenced by Thunderbird, I recognized I had reached a distinctively different path. I can attest that I am pleased and look forward to completing the Thunderbird Online program. "

    "It was from recommendations from leaders in my organization that I decided to take my first Leadership course with Thunderbird. The online format happened to suit my needs perfectly in order to sustain work-life balance. Having completed this course, I can see why they spoke so highly about the program. There was enough flexibility, yet there was work to be done on time. The “organization” of the course is excellent. I wish this is how everything was taught. The course began by presenting the big picture, discussed details into each component, and then tied everything together at the end of the course. There is plenty to read, learn and enjoy! "

    "If you are a person looking to receive the skills necessary to enhance your career, but are unable to attend a MBA or EMBA, then this is the opportunity for you. The core competencies of this program are taught by the professors at the brick and mortar campus. This will help boost your resume and assist you in developing the international skills that you are looking to attain. I know people that have attended Thunderbird, and others that have taken the online certificate programs. I reiterate, this information is very similar from the degree to the certificate program, only in a condensed version. I highly recommend both programs as one of the best, if not the best, in the world! "

    "After retiring in 2007 from my role in managing change leadership, I wanted to validate my continuing career journey. I decided to enroll in an Executive Certificate from Thunderbird, and new doors were opened for me! "
