Undergraduate Pathway (1-Semester) - Bachelor of Global Management

Program Overview

The BGM program prepares students to take on leadership roles in multinational corporations, government agencies or nongovernmental organizations. Thunderbird's elite faculty and strong relationships with global enterprises allow students to develop and hone the skills needed to thrive as leaders in today's globally interconnected economy. Students gain experience and develop skills that international companies, governments and nonprofit entities value highly in employees.

The program offers two tracks: the international business, language and culture track in which two years of foreign language is required; and the international business and culture track in which there is no foreign language requirement and more emphasis on management-related courses. Students who select the foreign language track may complete coursework in a variety of languages. The international business, language and culture track is offered to on-campus students only. Online students may pursue only the international business and culture track.

Everyone in the program has the opportunity to explore the politics, cultures and economics of different countries around the world while putting the skills they have learned into practice in real-world settings through a required international internship. Although students are strongly encouraged to pursue internships outside their home country, they may also satisfy this requirement by doing a local internship with an international component.

Students often choose to apply their electives toward a minor or certificate offered by another department. This allows the student to specialize in a second area of interest that complements their major. These could include areas such as communications, cyber security, data analytics, digital media, languages, nonprofit leadership, political science, psychology, public relations, risk management, sales and marketing, and sustainability. The minor and certificate search can be found in the online catalog.

Bachelor of Global Management students also complete a senior capstone project that draws on the unique skills they have developed throughout the program. In the capstone project, students work together in consulting teams to provide recommendations for a global organization on a challenge it faces internationally. The internship and the capstone project allow students to demonstrate their skills and work experience for potential employers as part of their professional development plan.

This truly global program provides global career opportunities around the world, global courses taught by outstanding Thunderbird graduate school faculty, and preparation for graduates to thrive in today's complex and dynamic global job market. Thunderbird School of Global Management has produced unique leaders for 75 years, agents of change in every sector who are capable of tackling the world's greatest challenges. The network of alumni, known as T-birds, comprises 45,000 graduates and 170 chapters around the globe.
