July 24, 2013

Another longtime Valley institution of higher learning, the Thunderbird Graduate School of International Management, is also going to undergo dramatic changes. Earlier this month, the Glendale-based school announced a partnership with for-profit Laureate Education Inc. Under the agreement, the school could get more than $50 million from a sale-leaseback of its campus.
