Green River College transfer student inspired by her Nigerian culture

ASU transfer student Francie Igboabuchi began her path to higher education at Green River College after learning about their 2+2 tertiary education system. As a Nigerian, this was very different from her educational experiences at the time. Inspired to pursue higher education by her parents, she recalls how education is considered to be one of the most invaluable tools that parents equip their children with.

“Growing up in a Nigerian household, my parents made certain that we received a great education," Igboabuchi said. "I grew up learning that schooling is different from education and that school teaches you to take responsibility for your own education, and learning that piece made me fall in love with academia. I feel that these four years of my undergraduate, and the many others that came before it, have prepared me not only to face the real world, but to give back to the world in a way that makes an impact, not only in the field of academia, but in other ways that we relate to each other.”

With an interest in science, and biology in particular, from a young age, she decided to pursue her BS degree in biological studies (biomedical sciences) in The College of Liberal Arts and SciencesRead more about Francie’s inspiring journey to ASU.

College Spotlight: Thunderbird School of Global Management

Today’s business and management environment is global. Learn how your students can prepare for a global career at Thunderbird School of Global Management

Offered at Arizona State University’s West campus in Glendale, the Thunderbird School of Global Management’s undergraduate degree programs will prepare students to become global leaders, be able to adapt and thrive in an ever-changing international environment. The degree programs feature hands-on courses taught by Thunderbird’s graduate level-faculty, so "Underbirds" are provided an interactive, discussion-based classroom experience that deepens their understanding of global business and instills Thunderbird’s global mindset.

Thunderbird undergraduate degree programs prepare students to take on leadership roles in multinational corporations, government agencies, public sector and nongovernmental organizations in the U.S. and around the world.

Everyone in the program has the opportunity to explore the politics, cultures, and economics of different countries around the world while putting the skills they have learned into practice in real-world settings through a required international internship. Although students are strongly encouraged to pursue internships outside their home country, they may also satisfy this requirement by doing a local internship with an international component.
