Through our partnership with Arizona State University, we offer unique lifelong learning opportunities and resources you will find only here. Thunderbird’s deep expertise in educating global leaders combined with ASU’s breadth of subject matter expertise is a synergy that enables us to teach the skills and mindset professionals need to succeed in the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

Thunderbird School of Global Management is the vanguard of global leadership, management, and business education for the Fourth Industrial Revolution, and are so much more than a school. Ushering in the Thunderbird 4.0 era, is a new state-of-the-art Global Headquarters building that leverages the latest cutting-edge learning technology for our students. Thunderbird’s global footprint has also grown over the years as well, with operations now in Geneva, Dubai, Tokyo, Seoul, Nairobi, Jakarta and nearly 15 others, Thunderbird’s Center of Excellence regional offices ensure that the School is now the world’s first truly “global multinational business school,” committed to training the next generation of global leaders.

As the world continues innovating, and technology changes the way we live and work, Thunderbird is developing nimble, ethical, global leaders who can seize the opportunities offered by the Fourth Industrial Revolution to create sustainable prosperity worldwide.

The Sidney Poitier New American Film School
The Sidney Poitier New American Film School inspires the next generation of diverse filmmakers and storytellers. Like Walter Cronkite and Sandra Day O’Connor, luminaries within their disciplines for whom ASU’s School of Journalism and College of Law are named respectively, Sidney Poitier is a national hero and international icon. His talents and character have defined ethical, inclusive and powerful work in filmmaking. This is also a full-circle moment. Poitier is the first Black man to win the Academy Award for Best Actor, for his role in the 1963 film “Lilies of the Field,” which was set and shot in Arizona – as was “Stir Crazy,” the blockbuster comedy with which Poitier became the first Black director to helm a film that grossed over $100 million. In naming this school, we signal our commitment to excellence and inclusion and carry forward Sidney Poitier’s legacy through the lives of the thousands of students who will learn their craft and strengthen their voice at the Sidney Poitier New American Film School.
