1 CITIZENS OF THE WORLD "Our students often tell me that Thunderbird is one ofthe few places where they have found people who think like they do. These students are truly 'Citirens of the World,' and theirs is a global pempective. Many ofthemhave tro.veled in several countries and speak several languages. Others, however, may never have owned a [Xlssport. Yet for all ofthem, it is their gldJal viewpoint that sets themaput. Ifyou are seeking a community of internationalists and you thrive on intellectual challenge, I invite you to be part of the Thunderbird experience. It will change your life."

THE THUNDERBIRD EXPERIENCE 3 More than 22,000 Thunderbird alumni occupy executive offices in multinational enterprises around the world. The bond that unites them is a combination of elements that make up the "Thunderbird Experience." It starts on the Thunderbird Campus and extends around the world. It is a group of alumni living, PROFILE OF THE STUDENT BODY working, and making business contacts in every state in the United States and 115 countries. Student Population: It is the "First Tuesday" tradition in New York, Omaha, Paris, Mexico City, Taipei, and 157 other cities around the world where alumni meet to develop social and business relationships. It is strangers who become instant friends when both learn they are T'birds. It is an on-campus camaraderie where everyone knows everyone, and lifelong friendships transcend international barriers.

Scott Moore '90 B.A, Spanish, 1986 Indiana University Business Research Analyst, Dow Chemical 6 THE HISTORY OF THUNDERBIRD One man who clearly understood the need for specialized training to meet the growing need for international executive talent was the late Lieutenant General Barton Kyle Yount (1884-1949), who was the Commanding General of the U.S. Army Air Training Command during World War II. '~madesome impottant resolutions during the School's first year. One was that this school would always keep itself' free to experiment bath in subject matter and in educational techniques. Another was that the school would always keep itself wide awake to new developments and to new information. Third, wededdedto make the instruction as pmcucal and realistic as we possibly could without sacrificing an understanding offundament.al principl.es, which are also ve.iy important to realism." Barton Kyle Yount Founding President, 1946 General Yount realized that U.S. business was going to be widely involved internationally after the war and that very few Americans were properly trained for international assignments. He decided to do something about the problem. Thunderbird Field The School was chartered as a nonprofit Arizona corporation on April 8, 1946, with General Yount as President. In June of that year, the War Assets Administration turned over to the new school Thunderbird Field No. 1, a deactivated pilot training center northwest of Phoenix. Classes started on October 1, 1946, and the first class graduated on June 14, 1947. The founders' vision was to create a national center of higher education where men and women might prepare themselves for careers in international commerce and management. Name Change The School was founded under the name American Institute for Foreign Trade. The name was officially changed in November 1968 to Thunderbird Graduate School of International Management, and in December 1973, it was changed to American Graduate School of International Management. The School's nickname, "Thunderbird," remains widely known in international circles. President's E Award On November 9, 1965, the United States Government presented the President's "E" Certificate for Export Service to the School for an outstanding contribution to the Export Expansion Program of the United States. The President's "Star E" Award was presented on March 24, 1971. The "E" flag continues to fly on the flagpole at Founder's Hall. Courses for Executives By 1951, the standard oneyear educational program of the School had gained such a high reputation that leading corporations requested a special executive training course. A separate program was arranged, the Key Manager Courses, to give corporate executives and their spouses intensive conversational language training in preparation for an overseas assignment. The program expanded to include a variety of advanced courses for execulives under the direction of the Thunderbird Management Center. Japanese were added to the five languages already taught. The world business foundation course structure and the core curriculum were developed, the language department added a business language requirement, and the international studies department instituted a new foundation course. The campus has also undergone dramatic change with the addition of the Talley Career Services Building in 1978 and the Snell Learning Center in 1980. In 1987, the William Voris Hall of Modern Languages, the Joan and David Lincoln Computer Services Building, and the EricksonAlumni Pavilion and Mall were dedicated as phase I of the proposed Faculty Center. A New President On July 1, 1989, Dr. Roy A. Herberger, Jr. became the eighth president of Thunderbird. Formerly one of the nation's leading business school deans, Dr. Herberger came to Thunderbird from a position as Dean of the Edwin L.

The Europeans I was interviewing with said, 'lfyou wunt international business, go to Thundeibird. That is the place to be.' I speak French, some Geiman, some Spanish, and a few phra.ses in Japanese. I looked at other progroms but noneofthem offered the same tripartite curriculum as Thundeibird, where all three areas are recogni7.ed as important. Thundeibird has a unique program, and I wanted to be a part ofthat." Katrina Gonnerman'90 B.S., Finance, 1985 Arizona State University Marketing, Procter & Gamble 8 THE THUNDERBIRD NETWORK No other school in the world can offer an international alumni body to match the Thunderbird network. Mention international business, and "Thunderbird" is the code word. They are 22,000 strong in eve.ry state in the U.S. and 115 foreign countries. No question about it, Thunderbirds are the "in" group in international circles. "My father went to Alumni Relations Office The Alumni Relations Office maintains current computerized records on alumni and their present locations as well as their job titles and employers. In addition, the office links more than 22,000 alumni around the globe through the Thunderbird Alumni Association. The network includes resource persons, who have facts about alumni meetings and business conditions in their particular region. The alumni publication, Thunderbird Magazine, is produced quarterly, keeping graduates around the world informed about their friends, business associates, their alma mater, and global affairs. Thunderbird in 1964, and that's how I found out about it. I had been in teaching for six yoom, and I wanted to make a major change in career. Having had entrepreneurial brothers and fathers talking business all the time, I identified with that more than I did with teaching, so I switched my career. Igrewupasan ltalian-Amedcan and lived 22 yoora in Italy, with an American mother and an Italian father, so I can see myselfhaving a dual life, part in ltaly and part in America." Ellen Antinucci '90 B.S., Psychology, 1982 University of Oregon Work in international business and Thunderbirds are everywhere: in the international divisions of nearly every major multinational corpor• ation; in every government agency that deals with international trade; in all of the world's top advertising agencies; in the international office of nearly every state department of commerce; and in almost every major international insurance firm. This alumni network could be your lifelong connection in the world of international business. The Jonas Mayer Distinguished Alumnus Award is given each year by the Thunderbird Alumni Association to an alumnus who has reflected great credit on American multinational business. The association also grants awards for career achievement in business and industry, public service, entrepreneurship, banking and finance, and service to Thunderbird.

James J. Beirne '76 Director of Career Development and Placement, Graduate Division The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania 12 CAREER SERVICES The major focus of the Career Services Center, located in the Franz G. Talley building, is service both to the students and employers. Emphasis is upon providing professional career counseling, planning and placement services to the students while maximizing recruiting success for employers. "I -went through Career Services and inteiviewed [with the Royal Bank ofCanada]. The Royal Bank hadn't recruited for this position for four years, so they looked at the most successful people in their own organization, then i,wnt to the colleges they werefrom. There are quite a few Thunderoird alumni workingfor the Royal Bank. In fact, the person who is in chmge ofall of Europe isa T'biid. When I went to New Yorlc to inter-. view, I was there with a µr.nnfrcm Mff, one from the University of Chicago, one from Wharton, and one fromNYU." Terry L. Grant '90 Corporate Account Manager, Royal Banlc of Canada The students are taught that placement is a personal process depending upon their own knowledge, research, initiative and resourcefulness. While at Thunderbird, they learn career management skills through a process that extends through each semester. The Career Services Center helps students to: • Engage in effective self-assessment; • Obtain occupational/ employment information; • Explore the full range of employment opportunities; • Present themselves effectively as candidates; and • Obtain optimal employment in the careers of their choice. Thunderbird graduates are thus able to apply these skills over a lifetime of career growth. Employers state that they hire Thunderbird graduates because in addition to their expertise for the position, they are able to conduct business in other languages and cultures; they understand the changes in the international marketplace and the relationship to domestic operations; they have practical management skills including negotiation; they have the ability to collaborate in a crosscultural environment where many have had living experiences; and they present themselves with a sense of behavioral maturity. CAREER SERVICES 13 Recruiting information is available from coordinators who schedule on-campus interviews and post positions of companies not able to recruit on campus. Students must be registered and making satisfactory progress toward the degree to be eligible to use the recruiting services of the Career Services Center. A Resume Book is published for each semester's graduating class and distributed to more than 1,000 prospective employers. The intent of this publication is to provide factual information about the students to a large number of organizations representing both domestic and international operations. Students make use of the Career Services Center lobby where they have access to a Resource Center of more than 1,500 company and organizational files, employer and geographic directories, and career planning books and periodicals. The Thunderbird Career Guidance Information System, a computerized service designed to answer more than 500 career-related questions, is the first equipment in the new Johnson & Johnson Career Management Media Room. All other equipment and software were provided by a grant from Johnson & Johnson. Each semester, all new students receive the Placement Manual written specifically for the career planning and placement needs of Thunderbird's graduate students. Outlined in that manual are the steps necessary to utilize the resource materials and personnel of the center effectively. The Career Servic1:1s Resource Library provides files on hundreds of companies and organizations plus numerous directories, planning books, and periodicals. "Dear T'birdc;: Finally! A title!

No single attribute outweighs others in the selection of members of an entering class. TEST DATES BASIC REQUIREMENTS GMAT Qua Iifications October 20, 1990 January 19, 1991 Mw:ch 16, 1991 June 15, 1991 TOEFL 1990 Friday, Sept.14 Saturday.Oct. 27 Saturday, Nov. 17 Friday, Dec. 7 1991 Saturday,Jan.12 Friday, Feb. B Saturday; Mareh 9 Friday, April 12 Saturday; May 11 Friday, June 7 Thunderbird encourages applications for admission from students of all countries. Normally, more than 50 countries are represented in the enrollment. All applicants are expected to meet the same requirements for admission. The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) is required of all applicants, and the TOEFL is also required in some cases (explained later). College and university graduates in good standing who, upon matriculation, hold a bachelor's degree or higher from accredited institutions recognized by the American Graduate School of International Management are eligible to be considered for admission as full-time students. This normally means a degree awarded after four years of university study at an accredited institution. Applicants holding degrees involving fewer than four years of undergraduate study are advised to communicate in writing with the Dean of Admissions prior to making application. Admission Deadlines Applications for admission are considered until the desired number of incoming students is reached for a particular term. Generally, this requires that applications be completed six months to one year prior to the start of the term requested. Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) Students are selected on the basis of their composite application. The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) is required of all applicants. The score is taken into account with the cumulative grade point average. Functional limitations and cultural backgrounds of students taking this test are considered when evaluating the score. Particulars can be obtained from GMAT, Educational Testing Service, CN 6103, Princeton, NJ 08541. Some applicants are required to take the TOEFL, described on the next page. Academic Requirements A grade point average of 3.0 (B) on a 4.0 scale is generally regarded as a minimal standard, when balanced with a GMAT score of 500. Other factors, especially professional experience, as well as extracurricular activities, are considered by the evaluators. Particular attention is given to aspects of the candidate's record that demonstrate maturity, leadership capabilities, and aptitude for a career in multinational business and international affairs. Acceptance for Admission Students are admitted to the Master of International Management program for the Fall, Winterim, Spring or Summer terms. Qualified applicants are notified of acceptance shortly after receipt of the application and all supporting documentation. Applicants are considered officially admitted upon receipt of a required tuition deposit. Admission on Probation Applicants whose grade point average and/or GMAT scores fall below the desired level may be admitted on probation if the admissions committee determines that other factors offer compelling evidence of academic promise. Students admitted on probation must earn a 3.0 grade point average in letter grades for a minimum of nine (9) hours before being granted regular status. Term of Admission Admission is granted only for the term for which application is made. If, after acceptance, a student wishes to defer matriculation to a subsequent term, reactivation of candidacy for admission is effected by submitting a letter to the Dean of Admissions. The candidate's application will then be reevaluated along with those of other candidates for admission to the particular entering class. Application docwnents are retained for two years. ADMISSION English Language Requirement Since English is the language of instruction used at Thunderbird, it is essential that all participants be prepared to understand rapid, idiomatic English as spoken in lectures and group discussions, to read English with ease, and to express their thoughts clearly in spoken and written English. Failure to meet this requirement at the School constitutes sufficient grounds upon which the School will require a student to withdraw. Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) Applicants whose undergraduate instruction was primarily in any language other than English must submit proof of proficiency in English by means of scores obtained in the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). Inquiries regarding this test should be addressed to the Educational Testing Service, Box 899, Princeton, NJ 08541, U.S.A. All students whose native language is other than English must take the Thunderbird English Placement Test at the time of registration. A student scoring below the acceptable level may be required to take basic English as a Second Language instruction elsewhere prior to being allowed to enroll in courses at Thunderbird. English as a Second Language (ES) Courses Regardless of the TOEFL score, the Thunderbird English Placement Test is the sole criterion in determining whether a student is required to take English as a Second Language elsewhere before registering here, to enroll in ES courses at Thunderbird, or to 19 obtain a partial or total ES waiver. Students enrolled in the Intensive English course receive individual academic counseling preparatory to undertaking further studies leading to the M.I.M. degree. Before these students can participate in academic registration each semester, their class schedules must be approved by the English instructors. Students who are required to enroll in Intensive English (ES3000) will find it necessary to spend an additional semester at Thunderbird in order to meet degree requirements. Financial Assistance Admission to the School does not imply financial assistance of any kind. All successful applicants are eligible for scholarships and assistantships, but this aid is usually limited to the most highly qualified. (See pp. 3339 for further information.) All foreign nationals must arrange complete financing of at least ono academic year of studies at the School prior to the issuance of documents for student visas. APPLICATION PROCEDURES Application and financial aid forms may be obtained from the Office of Admissions. The following credentials should subsequently be forwarded to the same office: • A completed official application form, accompanied by an application fee of $40 which cannot be waived or refunded, and an essay describing international motivation and accomplishments. • An official transcript from each college attended. Students presently enrolled in college or graduate school should submit a transcript of work completed to date. While the admission decision can be made on the basis of a partial transcript, the final official transcript evidencing the award of the qualifying degree must be received by the Office of Admissions prior to matriculation at Thunderbird. • Three letters of recommendation. • Official notice of the score on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) if the applicant's undergraduate instruction was in a language other than English. School Representatives Representatives of the School visit a large number of college and university campuses throughout the country to talk with prospective applicants. • Official notice of the score Such visits of School officials received on the Graduate are supplemented by those of Management Admission Test alumni of the School who visit (GMAT).

More than 35 such clubs actively contribute to the School's intellectual and cross-cultural atmosphere. In addition, the School fosters strong student government with representation from a cross-section of the student body. "After visiting here, I was fascinated by the international set-up and the international mix of the students. I still believe that is the greatest strength of the School- the student body. I found my job -with Citibank through on-campus recruiting. I started in the intemational troinee progrom, and then I moved to my current position." Uwe Reuter '87 Director, Personnel and Legal Issues Citibank, N.A. DusseldorfStaatsexamen in Law, 1985 Goethe University of Frankfurt Clubs are frequently formed by students studying various languages and by students with interest in specific regions of the world. Others are formed around special interests or religious faiths.

Texas Club Toastmasters Club Ultimate Frisbee Club ·i;, Student Government Student government is exercised through an elected Associated Students Legislative Council (ASLC). The council provides a forum for students to voice their opinions to the administration, faculty, and community at large. The ASLC adminjsters the student activities fund and provides for an atmosphere of cooperation among the students. The ASLC committee structure allows students to participate in the School's admission, alumni, curriculum, scholarship, speakers, film, placement, library, spouses, and information functions. The ASLC serves to develop improved faculty/student/ administration relationships. Student clubs under ASLC sponsorship generate the social, cultural and recreational activities necessary to supplement student life. Post Office The Cam pus Post Office distributes student mail and performs other postal services six days a week. The correct Post Office address for students is: American Graduate School of International Management, Thunderbird Campus, 15249 N. 59th Avenue, Glendale, AZ 85306-3399. STU DENT SERVICES 21 "After I gmduated [from the University ofTexas], I told a professor that I was really interested in getting an international management degree. He gave me some choices: NYU, the University of South Carolina, and Thunderbird. I applied to all three of them, and was accepted to all three, but I got the idea that Thunderbird is totally committed to international management I really like the School; there's a closeness here." Richard Kit Wong '90 Hong Kong B.B.A., 1989 University of Texas at Austin Production Manager, Wilsons Suede and Leather 22 STUDENT SERVICES Lectures and Seminars Many eminent authorities on international affairs and commerce and senior corporate officials of multinational and international firms visit the campus each year to lecture and conduct seminars. Visiting lecturers are invited with a view to keeping students in close touch with developments in our relations with different nations and the expanding activities of international commerce. "The most exciting thing about being a T'bird is the opport:unity to be enlightened by speakers who have come from all over· - like advisors to Gorbachev or people from the World Bank." Heidi Luquer B. A., French and English, 1985 University of Vermont will receive a partial refund of their tuition and fees. However, students waiving the program may still use the campus health center facilities and schedule appointments with the on-campus doctors. All referrals to off-campus physicians and labs would be at the expense of the student's personal health insurance plan. Vladimir Checklin, deputy president of the U.S.-U.S.S.R. Trade and Economic Council in New York and economic advisor to Gorbachev, addressed the students on the Thun_derbird Campus. Accompanymg him and also speaking to the students was Dennis Sokol, '74, chairman and CEO of Medical Service Partners, which operates actively in the Soviet Union.

STUDENT LOAN PROGRAMS Stafford Student Loans (formerly Guaranteed Student Loans) Stafford Student Loans are available to U.S. citizens and permanent residents.

We strongly recommend students continue to borrow through the same lender, if possible, if they have outstanding Stafford loans. Students who do not have outstanding Stafford loans may contact our office to discuss options. Proceeds from the Thunderl:Jird Cl.assic hot air balloonro.ce,held in November each year, go toward the Friends of Thunderl:Jird Mavis Voris endowment fund, which provides scholarships for Thunderbird students. Since the inception ofthemcein 1975, more than 200 students have benefited from the endowment. The balloon mce also serves as the focal point for homecoming, whichdmws alumni bock to the campus.

"Countertrode was one ofthe best classes I've taken here, because ifs such a little known field. It's the 'WUVe af the future as fur as international business is tronsacted, and not enough Americans understand that" Jennifer Myers '90 B.A., International Relations, 1988 Hamline University 80 THUNDERBIRD GRADUATE MANAGEMENT INTERNSHIP Internship education at the American Graduate School fonnally integrates academic study with meaningful, professional-level applied experience. It blends the application of theory with the state of today's practice. The primary objective of the program is to maximize the benefit and value of the experience consistent with the student's academic objectives and career interests. Internships have been sponsored in previous years by Citibank, U.S. Department of Commerce, Coca Cola, General Motors, Arizona World Trade Association, Seiko, DuPont, Arizona Office of Economic Planning and Development, Eli Lilly International and many others. The Thunderbird Graduate Management Internship is organized into two regularly offered courses: IN5910 provides part-time and IN5930 provides full-time internship experience. "I studied the dif ferent marketing facilities that Shiseido has {during my internship in Japan), their sales t«:hniques, distribution, factories, and research facilities. In the factories, we 'Wl1re able tn see in detail how they implement their quality control practices, how they do their research, how they do the various tests for product quality. andhowthe woiiels take a lot ofpride in the i,my the product is put together." Gregg Lafayette '90 B.S., Agribusiness Management Oregon State University Students who participate in the IN5930 internship must return to campus, enroll, and complete a minimum of six hours to receive credit for this course. This is an academic course and financial arrangements must be made with the business office prior to leaving campus for the internship. Additional tuition information may be obtained from the Internship Office. To be admitted to the program, students must have completed two semesters (minimum 24 credit hours) of Thunderbird study. Students who have completed the requirements for the degree are not eligible to participate in this course. Arrangements must be made the semester prior to the actual work experience. This may include language testing and/or intensive language training for certain foreign internships. The term of work may be any one of the three academic terms (fall, spring, or summer). A formal paper integrating the internship experience and academic objectives, as measured by the accomplishment of defined learning experience, is submitted at the conclusion of the work experience to the academic advisor. Only one internship will be allowed for credit during the period of a student's enrollment at the American Graduate School of International Management. The three (3) credits for Internship may be applied toward the 42-hour minimum requirements, but may not be used to meet departmental requirements in World Business, International Studies or Modern Languages, and are on a pass/no credit basis. Internship assignments are limited in number and are available with a variety of multinational business and government agencies throughout the world. Students interested in the program should contact the Internship Office for additional information. COURSE DESCRIPTIONS: IN5910 Internship: Part-time (3 hours) Part-time internship assignments are undertaken at the same time as other course work.

One additional credit hour per term is permitted only for students enrolled in 7-hour or 4-hour language classes. Auditing Students wishing to audit courses must obtain approval for an audit during the period allotted for changes of schedule, as described in this Catalog. Changes of schedule to audit status will not be allowed following this period. The charge for auditing is calculated on the same basis as tuition payable for courses taken for credit. Audits are not permitted in language courses in Levels I, II, and III, nor are they allowed in most seminars. Courses being audited are included in the maximum number of semester hours allowed per term. Change of Schedule "I grew up on a ranch in Montana and I'd never been out ofthe United States. Thunderbird gave me a chance to find out what was going on in the world and I began to nazrow my focus towmri international banking. I spent eight yoorawith American Express in foreign and domestic assignments including Gennany, Pakistan. London, and New York.In 1980/was offered a position in Bahmin with a new bank, and in 1988, I came to Istanbul to open their merchant bankhere." David Carpita '67 General Manager, Yatirimbank Istanbul, Turkey The period for changes in schedule without payment of a fee is five class days in the Fall or Spring Semester, three days in the Summer Term, and two days in Winterim. No courses may be added to a student's program after five class days in the Fall or Spring Semester, and three class days in the Summer Term. Upon payment of a $5.00 fee, following the free periods listed above, students are permitted to withdraw from courses up to the end of the eighth week in the Fall and Spring Semester or the end of the fifth week in the Summer Term. The appropriate notation (W) will be entered on the official transcript of the · student's record. Payment of Tuition and Fees Students who do not pay tuition and fees, or make appropriate substitute arrangements with the business office by the end of the first day of class in any term, will be dropped from classes. Students may reinstate their academic registration after payment of fees on a space available basis. Concurrent Enrollment Concurrent enrollment in another institution must be approved in writing by the Vice President for Academic Affairs prior to registration. Students may not enroll for a total course load greater than listed above. Transfer of Credits A student who has completed relevant graduate-level smdy at an acceptable institution may, subject to approval, transfer up to a maximum of three semester hours of graduate work completed after receipt of the undergraduate or other qualifying degree with a grade of B (3.0) or better, provided that such work meets the standards set by the individual departments. Additional credits are allowed in conformity with special institutional agreements. The School is the sole judge of what constitutes the qualifying degree for admission into graduate study and therefore what credits may be considered for transfer. For example, transfer credit petitions will not be approved for work taken during or prior to the completion of such degree as the B.A. or B.S., Licenciado, Maitrise, Diplom or Staatsexamen, Siviwkonom, Civilingenjor, Meester, to name a few. Students who transfer in credits from courses which, in the opinion of the relevant department, substantially duplicate courses offered here, cannot enroll in the duplicated courses for credit. Grades of transfer work are not considered in computing the student's grade point average at Thunderbird. The transferring of hours in no way constitutes the waiver of a course. Basic _language courses are not acceptable for transfer. Grading Code Grades are given and recorded as follows: A = A- = B+ = B = B- = C+ = C = C- = 4.0 3.7 3.3 3.0 D+ = 1.3 D 1.0 D- = 0.7 2.7 2.3 = AU= w = I NC :::: 2.0 1.7 F p 0.0 Pass Audit Withdrawal Incomplete No Credit Only courses completed with a graq.e of C- or better are acceptable in satisfaction of graduation requirements for the degree of Master of International Management or for the Certificate of Advanced Study. Should a student receive a grade of lower than C- in a required course or a prerequisite course, the student must repeat the course before going on to the next higher level. Academic Probation All students on academic probation must maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0 before being permitted to enroll in the following semester. This rule applies to students admitted on academic probation and those on academic probation because of failure to maintain a cumulative grade point average of3.0. 5900 Series Courses An individual may enroll in only one 5900 or higher numbered course in any one term. Not more than one 5900 or higher numbered course may be taken in absentia. Courses numbered in the 5900s are unstructured and may not be used to meet departmental graduation requirements. They are always graded on a pass/no credit basis. Correction of Errors in Grading When filed with the Registrar's Office, semester grades are final and are not subject to change by reason of a revision of the instructor's judgment. Changes may be made only to correct an error in computation or transcription. ACADEMIC REGULATIONS 83 Retaking Courses Graduation Requirements A student may be permitted to retake a course once in the hope of improving a grade. A letter grade earned in the repeated course will expunge the original letter grade. However, the original remains on the transcript with an asterisk indicating that the course was retaken. Students must formally petition the Registrar for graduation during the term in which they plan to graduate. This must be done early in the term if the students expect to be included in the graduation program. Discharging Incomplete Grades Students must meet the graduation requirements specified in the Catalog in effect at the time of admission, if their studies are uninterrupted by an absence of more than one semester (excluding summer or Winterim). Students returning after an absence of more than one semester (excluding summer or Winterim) must follow all regulations in effect for students entering in that term and must complete a minimum of six semester hours. Such returning students will be required to re-establish their language proficiency levels by taking the appropriate tests. Returning students will be expected to pay tuition and fees in effect at the time of return. Grades of "I" may be discharged upon completing the course requirements to the satisfaction of the instructor, within one year, or within the student's next term of enrollment, whichever is the shorter time. Otherwise, the Incomplete becomes a No Credit (NC), It is the student's responsibility to make necessary arrangements with the instructor with regard to receiving and removing the Incomplete. The Incomplete grade received in the basic language courses must be removed before any subsequent higher level course may be undertaken. Class Attendance Class attendance is required in the Level I, II, and m classes offered by the Department of Modern Languages and in the first three levels of ES (English) classes. Absences in these courses will adversely affect the student's grade. Class attendance policies are set by individual instructors in the Department of International Studies and World Business and in advanced courses in the Department of Modern Languages. In courses where there are waiting lists and/or in courses where the instructor's permission is required, students who are enrolled but do not attend the first class session may be administratively dropped by the professor, unless they have given proper notification to the professor. Student Conduct Students at the School are preparing themselves for careers in which they will likely be given supervisory responsibilities at a senior corporate level. They are, therefore, expected to demonstrate maturity and selfdiscipline throughout the period of their study. A student's continued enrollment, the receipt of academic credits, graduation, and the granting of any degree or certificate are strictly subject to the disciplinary authority of the School. The School is free to cancel a student's registration at any time for conduct deemed inconsistent with the maturity expected of the international executive. Master's Thesis Candidates for the degree of Master of International Management may petition to write a thesis which will count for four hours credit toward the total number of hours required for the degree. An oral defense of the thesis is required. Information concerning thesis requirements may be obtained from the relevant department, as each department reserves the right to set its own standards with regard to content, subject matter, and form. Application forms for the thesis may be obtained from the Office of Academic Affairs. Returning after an Absence Five-year Rule Degree requirements must be completed within five calendar years of a student's initial enrollment. Courses completed earlier than five years before the effective date of graduation may not count toward degree requirements. Graduation with Distinction or with Honors A numerical score is used to determine those candidates who will be graduated with special recognition. A computed average of 3.80 must be attained for graduation With Distinction and an average of 3. 70 for graduation With Honors. Transcript Regulations One complete transcript of record is furnished the student at the conclusion of each term, without charge. For each additional transcript, a fee of $2.00 is charged. The application for the transcript ofrecord must be made by the student either on the regular form supplied at the Registrar's Office or by written request. No transcripts, letters ofrecommendation, or certifications of attendance will be released on students who have not met their financial obligations to the School.

Company representatives are actively involved in providing advice and counsel to the School. "From the outset, Thunderbird stnden'ls were instructed that American tinders, diplomats, and investors could enhance their chances for success by taking to heart the credo, 'mien in Rome... .' Still harping on that theme... the school's 12-month intensive thre&part cuniculum focuses on language stndy, political and economic geogro.phy, and int.emati.onal business. Outside the classroom, Thunderbird enriches i'ls foreign and domestic stndents with~ cials, lectures, and linguistic games." America West Airlines Magazine December, 1989 Klaus E.
