W. P. Carey and Thunderbird Partner on AI and Global Management Master’s Degrees

Tempe, AZ: “Students are now able to take advantage of two world-class schools at Arizona State University, at the same time.

The Thunderbird School of Global Management and W. P. Carey School of Business are collaborating to offer students a new concurrent degree program, through which students can earn an internationally recognized Master of Global Management, with concentrations in either global business or global digital transformation, along with a first-of-its-kind Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence in Business.

Typically, students who wanted to earn two degrees would need to achieve the full requirements and credits for each degree individually. Through this partnership, a student in the concurrent degree program could share 15 credits between the two degrees, resulting in a total of 64 credits for both. Students could complete the program, earning both degrees, in as little as two years.”

Wharton Business School Shoots Down Harris’ Claim She’ll Strengthen Economy

Newsweek: “A top business school has shot down claims made by Vice President Kamala Harris that her economic proposals would strengthen the U.S. economy.

During a “Unite for America” livestream event in the battleground state of Michigan with Oprah Winfrey on Thursday, Harris sought to persuade the audience that she had an economic policy that would deliver for businesses and for the American people, saying “and that is why Goldman Sachs . . . is why Moody’s, which is why Wharton School of Business, which is why 16 Nobel laureates, have collectively determined after analyzing our plans . . . mine would strengthen the economy, his would weaken it.”

When contacted by Newsweek for comment, one of the institutions Harris referenced directly refuted her claim.

“We did not find a positive impact on the economy from her plan in any future year. The Trump plan does increase GDP for a few years but lowers by the end of the 10-year budget window,” a spokesperson for the University of Pennsylvania’s Penn Wharton Budget Model (PWBM) said.”
