Language and Culture Programs

English Boot Camp Program

The Thunderbird Language and Culture Programs (TLCP) offer an English Boot Camp, uniquely designed for students who do not speak English as their native language. The program builds business English skills and confidence for international students entering Thunderbird's MBA and Masters programs or another graduate business program.

For more information about the Thunderbird community and Arizona, please review Visiting Campus.

This is a 2-week program with 25 hours of instruction per week or 50 hours total for the English Refresher Program. The English Boot Camp program is a separate program and is not combined with the 10-week Pre-MBA/Masters Intensive English Program.
