It's the network and the feeling of togetherness that gets generated here in the desert, and they really do support eoch other. People really do get jobs from other alums. T'birds really do have a community all around the world. In a day and age when business is so competitive, any advantage that you have can really help you. This School has really got it." Janet Almroth Thunderbird Class of 1988 B.A., Cultural Anthropology, 1978 Tufts University "When I was working in industry. I found that there were a lot of people who were doing things very poorly from an international point of view .... Few were interested in learning about the culture or language of the customers they were working for .... What I like most about this School is that not only does it offer the business fundamentals, but it also has a tilt toward the international arena, which is what I'm interested in. Everyone here is interested in more or less the same field. Because of that, the courses are more focused, slanted toward international application, so it's really a fertile ground to study in." · Theo Miller Thunderbird Class of 1988 B.A., Physics, 1981 Middlebury College ix Doinl 'Bu.sin ta.,w: .- C The Barton Kyle Yount Memorial Libmry carries over 100,000 volumes in its coJlection. Shown above is Mathew Fjeldsted with a book by Dr. Robert Moran. one of Thunderbird's outstanding professors of cross-cultuml communication, X INTERNATIONAL CAREERS For more than 40. years, Thunderbird has been the leader in providing the world with international managers. More than 20,000 graduates are now working around the world in a variety of positions that utilize their unique Thunderbird education. A recent survey of business college deans published in the U.S. News & World Report cited Thunderbird as one of the best schools of management. Another academic survey published in the Journal of International Business Studies cited Thunderbird as the best in international management education. In the increasingly interdependent world economy, there is great need for individuals who have an international management education. In An Action Agenda for American Competitiveness, a coalition of corporate, university, and Congressional leaders admonished, "Colleges and universities must significantly strengthen their international studies courses-language, cultural, political, economic-and make them readily available to U.S. business executives as part of their own lifelong learning programs." For over 40 years, Thunderbird has made this objective the foundation for its tripartite curriculum. International commerce today represents a trillion dollars in worldwide business opportunity, and international economic issues are constantly in the forefront of modern business decision-making. Various factors have affected international trade in recent years: changing political ideologies in a substantial part_ of the world, the complexities of petroeconomics, changing comparative advantages, plus accompanying trade deficits and payment defaults. Suchfactors are creating a shift in traditional world trade and business patterns, causing an emphasis on joint ventures, especially in the automotive, pharmaceutical and electronics industries. We are also witnessing a trend in reverse direct investment with an increasing number of foreign firms establishing their facilities in the United States. All of this points to the need for individuals properly educated in the complex realities of international commerce and cross-cultural communication. Thunderbird is the pioneer in this field of international management education, and the Thunderbird alumni network with graduates working in 106 countries is an incomparable resource. In addition. such education can also lead to a domestic assignment involving international transactions or a career as an entrepreneur with a global outlook. Approximately 80 percent of the graduates live in the United States and are largely involved in the international activities of their employers, which include small and large corporations as well as nonprofit organizations and government agencies. 1- ■- 1 Students gather in the outdoor pavilion, against the backdrop of the Academic Affairs Building, and the Erickson-Alumni Mall.

He realized that U.S. business was going to be widely involved internationally once the war was ended. He also realized that very few Americans were properly trained for international assignments, as evidenced by the prevalent criticism of the behavior of American businessmen abroad. He decided to do something about the problem. Commencement ceremonies ore held in May, August, and December. Students with good preparation in business and language courses ore able to complete the program in one calendar year, Others normally finish in eighteen mruttns. 14 GENERAL INFORMATION 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 sixteen miles northwest of Phoenix. At the same time, a capital fund was made available in the form of unsecured loans, granted as a public service by Arizona Bank, Bankers Trust Company, Chase Manhattan Baruc, First National Bank of Arizona, Valley National Bank, and the directors of the School. Classes started on October 1, 1946, and the first class graduated on June 14, 1947. Name Change The School was founded under the name American Institute for Foreign Trade. The name was officially changed in November 196B 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. 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, in either industry or government service. In exploring the character of the specialized training to be offered, the founders requested and received much valued advice from the United States Office of Education, from many others in the field of education, from other government agencies, and from some thirty leading corporations and financial institutions that freely discussed their worldwide 'personnel problems and the kind of training they considered most desirable.· Affiliation with American Management Association From 1963 to 1983, the School was affiliated with the American Management Association. Recently. the 1963 agreement was replaced with a new agreement to continue a more limited affiliation. The School continues to retain its complete academic independence as a private institution of higher learning. President's T 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. Key Manager Courses By 1951, the standard one-year educational program of the School had gained such a high reputation that leading corporations requested the development of 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 their being sent overseas. The program continues under the direction of the Thunderbird Management Center. 15 7 . t -1 -1 • • • • ~ ;,.( ..· •··•Tr:' .... ~- - . •~,T •,~,~~i~: .: - ~.:, , __ ,/!.;.,~=~~~;-.~ :. .·.{itff!~I-~;i-~:.~ JtfiJit:r Dirk Wroy ond his wife.

This normally means a degree awarded after four years of university study at an accredited institution. Applicants holding degrees involving less than four years of undergraduate study are advised to communicate in writing with the Dean of Admissions prior to making application. Recognizing the diversity in personality traits, skills, and talents required to satisfy the varied demands of business enterprises and government agencies, the School seeks a similar diversity in its student body as demonstrated by background, experience and previous scholastic attainment. No single attribute outweighs others in the selection of members of an entering class. No specific undergraduate major or nonacademic experience is required for entrance or preferred by the Committee on Admissions. Although prior collegiate study in business or in foreign language provides an advantage to students in the Thunderbird curriculum, it is not a requisite for admission. Waiting Period Because enrollment must be restricted to a manageable level, early application up to a year in advance of registration is recommended. Information and application forms may be obtained by writing to the Dean of Admissions, or by telephone: (602) 978-7210 or 1 (800) 824-7333, by Telex 187123, or by FAX (602) 439-5432. 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 and this 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, New Jersey 08541. Some foreign students are required to take the TOEFL, described on page 20. Other Factors A grade point average of 3.0 is regarded as a minimal standard, and this is taken into consideration along with the GMAT score. The extent of meaningful extracurricular achievements and professional experience of the applicant is also of concern to the evaluators. Attention is given to aspects of the candidate's record that indicate maturity, leadership capabilities and motivation toward a career in multinational business or international affairs. 17 ADMISSION Matriculation Students may matriculate into the Master of International Management program in the Fall, Winterim, Spring, or Summer term. Qualified applicants are notified of the decision of the Office of Admissions shortly after receipt of their total application. Consideration of those with questionable GMAT scores or grade point averages may require additional weeks of review by the Committee on Admissions for possible acceptance on probation. School Representatives Representatives of the School visit a large number of college and university campuses throughout the country to talk with prospective applicants. Such visits of School officials are supplemented by those of alumni of the School who visit local universities and are available to confer with interested candidates. A partial listing of Alumni Educational Counselors is located at the back of the Bulletin. 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 re-evaluated along with those of other candidates for admission to the particular entering class. Application documents are retained for at least three years. APPUCATION 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. • 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 the School. • 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. • Official notice of the score received on the Graduate Management Ad~ mission Test (GMAT). The Thunderbird code nwnber is 4003. Following the receipt of a Conditional Acceptance, the applicant must send a $100 tuition deposit. An Official Acceptance will then be sent, provided the term is still open when the deposit is received and the application is fully processed. 18 ADMISSION FOREIGN STIJDENTS Thunderbird encourages applications for admission from students of all countries. Normally, more than 50 countries are represented in the enrollment. Applicants from countries other than the United States are expected to meet the same requirements for admission as applicants from the United States, in addition to the specified English language requirements. The Graduate Management Admission Test is required of all applicants, and the TOEFL is also required in some cases (explained below). English Language Requirement Since English is the language of instruction used at American Graduate School, 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. ; :'·.:· ' , ,.· : . ·. {· ,,.%:~:U·:>~ ;•. Fotis Papadopoulos of Greece is one of more than .250 foreign students who attend Thunderbird each year, making up approximately .25 percent of the student body. 19 ADMISSION 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 foreign students must take the Thunderbird English Placement Test at the time of registration, although exemption from this requirement may be allowed for those judged to be native speakers of English. 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 score on the TOEFL, the Thunderbird English Placement Test is the sole criterion in determining whether a student is required to take English as a Second Language (ESJelsewhere before registering here, to enroll in ES courses at Thunderbird, or to 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. Since Thunderbird is seldom able to offer any type of financial assistance to foreign students, they should be prepared to meet all their expenses. While foreign students are considered for the Worldwide Assistantships on the same basis as U.S. citizens, this aid is extremely limited. All foreign students must arrange complete financing of at least one calendar year of studies at the School prior to the issuance of documents for student visas. - "I chose Th under bird over the other business schools ... because it provided mew ith internationally accepted credentials and immediate access into an exceptional alumni network. The friendships I developed in my year in Glendale are among my most cherished. Thunderbird provided me the springboard for an international career. which placed me in three countries in my first ten years out of school." James J. Beirne.

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 Bulletin. 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 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 Session, 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 Session. 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 or Spring Semester or the end of the fifth week in a Summer Session. The appropriate notation (WP or WF) will be entered on the official transcript of the student's record. FINANCIAL REGISTRATION Students who do not financially register by the end of the second day of classes will have their academic registration cancelled. Students may reinstate their academic registration on a space available basis. CONCURRENT ENROLLMENT Concurrent enrollment in another institution must be approved in writing prior to registration by the Vice President for Academic Affairs. Students may not enroll for a total course load greater than listed above. TRANSFER OF CREDITS A student who has completed relevant graduate-level study 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 25 ACADEMIC REGUIATIONS 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 degrees as the B.A. or B.S., Licenciado, Maitrise, Diplorn or Staatsexamen, Sivilgkonom, 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 = 4.0 D+ = 1.3 A- = 3.7 = = = = 3.3 = = = 1.0 B+ B BC+ C C- D DF = = 3.0 2.7 2.3 2.0 1.7 p 0.7 o.o AU = = WP WF = Pass Audit Withdrawal Passing Withdrawal Failing I = Incomplete NC = No Credit Only courses completed with a grade 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 of 3.0. 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. 26 ACADEMIC REGULATIONS RETAKING COURSES 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 course remains on the transcript with an asterisk indicating that the course was retaken. DISCHARGING INCOMPLETE GRADES 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 ATfENDANCE Owing to the small size of the classes and the oral/aural approach to language training at the School, class attendance is required in the conversation and fundamentals courses offered by the Department of Modern Languages. Absences in a course will adversely affect the student's grade. Class attendance policies are set by individual instructors in the Departments of International Studies and World Business. 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 self-discipline 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. In addition, the School has the authority to expel students, if it has been determined that they cannot succeed in effectively handling any portion of the tripartite program leading to the Master of International Management degree. Details of required academic performance are set forth in the Student Handbook. 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. 27 ACADEMIC REGULATIONS Dan MiJne of Dallas, Te.xasis one of more than 900 graduates who l"e(!eive the Master of InternationaJ Management degree each year. GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS 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. RETURNING AITER AN ABSENCE Students must meet the graduation requirements specified in the Bulletin in effect at the time of admission, if their studies are uninterruptedi(except for a Summer Session). Students returning after an absence of a semester [other than a Summer Session) must meet the graduation requirements in effect at the time of return and also complete a minimum of six semester hours of work. Returning students will be required to re-establish their language proficiency level by taking the appropriate tests. Students whose academic work was taken more than five years before the anticipated returning date should confer with the Dean of Admissions about the prevailing policy. GRADUATION wmI 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 of record must be made by the student either on the regular form supplied at the Registrar's Office or by written request. No transcripts, letters of recommendation, or certifications of attendance will be released on students who have not met their financial obligations to the School. 28 REQUIREMENTS REQUIREMENTS l\1ASTEROF INTERNATIONAL MANAGEMENT DEGREE DEGREE PROGRAM Introduction The tripartite curriculum of American Graduate School of International Management provides a program of instruction in three departmentsInternational Studies, Modern Languages. and World Business - leading to the Master of International Management degree. Degree candidates must meet requirements in each of the three departments as well as overall requirements of the institution. Summary of Institutional Requirements Candidates for the Master of International Management degree are required to complete a minimum of 42 semester hours of course work less allowable transfer of credit. Not more than 12 of the 42 hours may be at the 3000 level. Candidates who are unable to qualify for sufficient waivers may be required to complete as many as 57 semester hours if they are native speakers of English and 66 semester hours if they must complete the 3000 level English course. Students must earn an aggregate grade point average of 3.00(B) in graded courses. Only courses completed with a grade of C- or better are acceptable in the satisfaction of any requirement for the degree of Master of International Management; however. all letter grades will be included in the calculation of student grade point averages. A minimum of 24 semester hours must be earned in study on the Thunderbird Campus in Glendale. A minimum of 30 semester hours at the 4000/5000 level are required.

Mario received his undergraduate degree from Technion, ITT. in lsroeJ. 30 REQUIREMENTS Waivers A waiver is the official recognition by an academic department that a student has met a departmental requirement for graduation in some manner other than having completed course work at the School. Prospective students are encouraged to complete as many introductory courses as possible prior to matriculation in order to maximize the time available for upper-level courses focusing on areas of special interest. Degree candidates may qualify for waivers through courses completed at other institutions or, for some requirements but not all, successful performance on examinations administered by CLEP or by the faculty. Details of requirements for waivers are indicated on pages 33-40. Waivers in no way constitute a reduction in the minimum of 42 semester hours required for the M.I.M. degree. Explanation of Course Numbering Courses at the 3000 level are basic introductory lecture courses in the subject described. Students with graduate or undergraduate backgrounds in these subjects may, on occasion, waive these courses in accordance with departmental and School requirements. Courses at the 4000 level are advanced courses on specialized topics which assume some prior familiarity with the subject matter. Courses at the 5000 level are limited-enrollment seminars which students may take only by permission of the instructor. Permission of the instructor means that the instructor has the right to select the students al1owed to enroll in the class, including the right to set appropriate qualitative standards, in addition to the established prerequisites. Courses numbered 5901, 5902 and 5903 are independent research projects offered in each department. They are usually open only to advanced degree candidates and to those who have demonstrated the academic maturity, scholarly interest, and technical ability required to undertake research with a minimum of supervision. Written permission to enroll in Independent Research courses must be obtained by the student during the semester prior to the semester in which the course will be taken. Time Period The 42-hour program can be completed in three semesters (one and onehalf years) or two full semesters and a summer term by students able to waive several of the foundation courses. Although one calendar year suffices for the majority of students, candidates are urged to consider the depth and quality of education available in the curriculum rather than just the time required to complete minimum requirements. Many of the rare and challenging courses at the 4000 and 5000 level are available only to those who enter with substantial waivers or who extend their enrollment for an extra term. All work should be completed within five years preceding the graduation date. Curriculum Changes The School reserves the right to make whatever changes it finds appropriate at any time in course scheduling, assignment of instructor, and prerequisites. A few courses are offered in alternate semesters or as demand warrants. 31 REQUIREMENTS OUTIJNE OF PROGRAM OF STUDY The following outline summarizes the overall required program of study leading to the Master of International Management degree: TOTAL PROGRAM OF STUDY FOR THE MASTER OF INTERNATIONAL MANAGEMENT DEGREE [42 semester hours required, 12 of which may be 3000 level) 3 Semester Hours 3000 level International Studies 3 (waivable) Modern Languages 6 (waivable) 0 World Business TOTAL 18 {waivable) 27 (Only 12 of which will be accepted toward the degree.) 4000 or 5000 level Total (waivable) (mandatory) 9 3 9 (waivable) 15 15 30 (mandator:{) 3 33 57h (42 of which will be accepted toward the degree.} aA maximum of three semester hours of transfer credit is allowable, except for special provisions under institutional agreements. 6Students who must take ES3000 (15 hours) may require a total of 66 semester hours.

"The best advice 1 could give incoming students "1-vould be to take all 3000-level business courses or waive them wUh CLEP tests before coming to Thunderbird in order to tahe more advanced courses here." Elizabeth Short Class of 1986 32 REQUIREMENTS DEPARTMENT OF INTERNATIONAL STUDIES Introduction Failure "to understand and to adapt" to the overseas environment is a major cause of executive failure in international operations. The curricula of the Department of International Studies is designed to facilitate understanding of and adaptation to foreign environments so that the international manager may focus upon succeeding rather than just surviving or coping. Much of success in the international field has to do with individual outlooks and characteristics, i.e., personal flexibility, a tolerance for ambiguity, a predisposition toward cultural empathy, and a certain sense of adventure. The Department of International Studies focuses upon fostering such a personal outlook, building a fundamental substantive knowledge base relevant to the international management professional, and equipping students with a conceptual framework from the humanities and the social sciences essential for informed analysis and decision-making in a foreign milieu. These qualities, plus language skills, are essentially what differentiates "domestic" from international management education. Fundamental to the education and enculturation of the international manager is the acquisition of the basic core knowledge of the international business environment and analysis of a regional specialization. These fundamentals and concentrations are provided: a methodology, an approach, and a "store" of knowledge. They enhance and support the knowledge and training gained in the other two parts of the tripartite curriculum. ,,. r ,: ' i ·.·; - ., ! :f·: ~.: . j \~: ,· \ \ I ' . I II ;' i, ,,, . .......

The 3000-level course must be in one of the following: Asia, Europet Latin America, Middle East/North Africa, SubSaharan Africa, or International Political Economy. The 3000-level course may be waived with undergraduate equivalent work; one 4000-level course may be waived but only with duplicate courses taken in graduate standing. All students must take at least three credit hours of 4000 or 5000-level course work in the department, regardless of background. The Department of International Studies will not allow a student to use the same course for both a waiver and for a transfer of credit. Waivers · Waivers are allowed, but a student must take at least three (3) credit hours of work in the Department of International Studies at the 4000 or 5000 level. All course work accepted for waivers must have grades of "B" of better. The following criteria apply for waivers of some specific courses. 1S3100 INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT: ASIA; 1S3200 INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT: EUROPE: 1S3300 INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT: LATIN AMERICA; 1S3400 INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT: MIDDLE EAST/ NORTH AFRICA; 1S3500 INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT: SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA: Waivers for these world area courses are granted on the basis of a transcript that demonstrates a grounding in at least three of the following fields of study focusing on the area: History, Political Science, Economics, Geography, Anthropology, and Sociology. Only courses with a grade of B or better will be considered. Language courses and living experience will not be considered. IS3800 INTRODUCTION TO INTERNATIONAL POLITICAL ECONOMY: Waivers may be granted on the basis of courses taken in macroeconomics, microeconomics and international economics in combination with courses taken in comparative politics or international relations. ALL 4000-LEVEL COURSES: Waivers for IS4000-level courses will be granted only if the courses being presented for consideration were taken while in graduate standing for graduate credit and if the courses duplicate courses offered here. No waivers are granted for 5000-level courses.

These courses are unstructured and may not be applied toward meeting department requirements. *See pages 44-45 for changes in degree requirements effective for students entering in Fall 1989 or later. 34 REQUlREMENTS DEPARTMENT OF MODERN LANGUAGES Introduction The Department of Modern Languages offers courses in eight languages: Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Portugese, Spanish and English as a second language. These courses equip students linguistically and culturally to perform international assignments successfully. Foreign students have an opportunity to improve their American business English and further develop their communication skills. Requirements In order to meet graduation requirements of this department, students must demonstrate a required level or proficiency in both general language and business vocabulary in one of the eight languages taught at the School, in addition to their native language. Three courses (numbered 3000, 4000, and 4010) comprise the basic foreign language sequence of 15 hours {16 hours for Arabic, Chinese and Japanese). The basic sequence for English as a Second Language is 21 hours (ES3000, ES4010 and ES4050). Incoming students with no demonstrable language proficiency or training are placed into a 3000-level language course of their choice. (Separate regulations apply to English as a Second Language.) These students therefore complete the language requirement by taking 3000, 4000, and 4010-level courses in that language.

H "It is easy to dismiss the 'Thunderbird Mystique'... as a public relations ploy. It may be difficult to define, but it certainly exists. The students, 26 percent of whom come from 60 overseas countries are, undoubtedly, a different breed. Their belief in internationalism, such a contrast from the narrow introverted outlook of so many American business students, shines through the briefest conversation and their loyalty to the School is intense ... Not one felt that they were not getting value for their money."
