About Thunderbird

I was reading up on ASU's Thunderbird school(the school within ASU offering this program) and learned an interesting piece of info below(emphasis mine):

The Evolution of Thunderbird

Thunderbird 1.0: Founded in 1946 on the grounds of a deactivated airbase (Thunderbird Field No. 1), Thunderbird was the first graduate management school focused on global business.

Thunderbird 2.0: The 1960s proved to be a time of global expansion for the institution. Thunderbird enjoyed steady growth and with that came a sense of identity in the world of international business education.

Thunderbird 3.0: By the 1980s, Thunderbird had risen to become a major player in the corporate and academic arenas, ranking #1 in the world for international management.

Thunderbird. 4.0: In 2014, Thunderbird joined Arizona State University, bringing the world’s #1-ranked Master of Global Management program under the umbrella of the university ranked the No. 1 “Most Innovative School” in the United States by U.S. News & World Report. With a new global headquarters on ASU’s Downtown Phoenix campus and Centers of Excellence around the world, Thunderbird is now strategically focused on delivering the world’s finest leadership and management education for the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

So it seems this free initiative is run by one of the top schools in their field. If it ends up being made of graduate courses, which it may very well be, they should transfer into the highly ranked MGM degree. Additionally, they may potentially transfer to ASU's MBA programs(also available online) through the W.P. Carey School which has pretty good rankings for a state university.
