Overview
The Master of Leadership and Management (MLM) - Global Experience degree program prepares professionals to lead in today’s complex global environment. Designed for those advancing into greater leadership responsibility or transitioning across industries, the program develops expertise in cross-cultural communication, finance, data analytics, marketing, and leading diverse global teams. Future-ready by design, the curriculum equips graduates to navigate rapid technological and societal change with confidence—at a time when the need for agile, ethical, and visionary leadership has never been greater.
This hybrid program combines the flexibility of online learning with the impact of in-person immersion. Delivered through ASU Sync via Zoom (digital face-to-face), asynchronous coursework, and in-person modules in key regional locations—with remote participation options available—the program is led by Thunderbird’s world-class faculty. In-person modules take place at a Thunderbird regional center located within a major global trade and commerce epicenter. Anchored in a dynamic hub for international business, innovation, and cross-border exchange, the program includes two immersive in-person modules held at the beginning and conclusion of the degree. These experiences bring students together for intensive coursework, applied workshops, leadership labs, and direct industry engagement—grounding learning in real-world global context while strengthening cohort connection. Between the in-person modules, students complete the core curriculum online through interactive classes and collaborative projects with a globally diverse cohort.
It is recommended for students to pursue a specialization in AI and Global Leadership, however, other specializations may be considered. This hybrid degree delivers flexibility without compromise, preparing leaders to guide AI-driven transformation and lead effectively in an interconnected world.
