the program, I realize that we not only had a
manageable schedule and workload but, that
we are on a path to success.””

OPPORTUNITITES
A world apart from the average MBA
The Global MBA program is by no means just another
distance learning MBA. Top-notch Thunderbird and
Tecnológico de Monterrey faculty bring proven tactics and
valuable insight into every lesson. Plus, you will learn from
your peers too. This program offers the finest assembly of
professionals who bring to class the most diverse views
on current events — and the greatest experience in Latin
American issues faced day-to-day in their jobs. No other
distance learning MBA offers as much.
“The Global MBA’s one-week international interim seminar included a visit to the
World Trade Organization’s headquarters in Geneva. The opportunity to see the
organization in action was an experience that I always dreamed of having.”
—Antonio Peredo Arenas, Class of 2010
Santa Fe, Mexico Campus
World-class alumni
Nothing symbolizes the Global MBA more than its alumni themselves. They are global business leaders
representing both Thunderbird and Tecnológico de Monterrey every day by their words and deeds. Most
significant is the impression each of them leaves on those whose lives they touch. This impression is
one of extraordinary business acumen, integrity, and a global mindset that is unparalleled in graduate
business education. To date, over 1,300 alumni have completed this elite program.
In just three short years, while earning his MBA from the
joint Thunderbird-Tecnológico de Monterrey program
at the Santa Fe campus in Mexico, Echeverria made four
significant professional leaps. He credits the Global MBA
for the swift career advancement and marketable skill set.
“Since day one, I was able to translate my school learning
into my job,” he says.
