[edit] MBA program
Hult offers fully accredited one-year MBA programs in Boston, Dubai and London (newly acquired) with identical core curriculums, covering traditional management subjects such as Finance, Accounting, Marketing Management, Global Management, Managerial Economics, Quantitative Methods, Operations Management, Consulting Methods and Project Management.
Additionally, students participate in an Action Learning Project, working closely with a local major company to carry out a real-world innovation and growth project within a company. Five teams composed of five students compete against each other to identify the best innovation and growth option for the company. To date, senior mentors from Arthur D Little, the Monitor Group and Hult have guided these student teams to develop business growth options using a novel proprietary approach developed by the Center for Innovation, Excellence and Leadership (IXL Center). Senior executives from these companies work closely to guide the student teams and determine the best options for them and often make investment plans around the winners.
To build upon the action-based curriculum, Hult hosts speaker series, Lessons from the Leaders Innovation Speaker Series, seminars and networking activities to provide students with the opportunity to develop knowledge about local culture and business practices.
[edit] MIB program
Hult’s Master of International Business has been specifically adopted to meet the needs of recent university graduates. Taught by the same faculty and following an abbreviated version of Hult’s top-ranked MBA curriculum, many students graduate to exciting and rewarding careers at multinational companies. Some eventually choose to pursue an MBA at Hult.
Hult’s MIB and Internship Elective launch students’ careers immediately after undergraduate studies with a one-year intensive global business education. Students gain real business experience and learn how to think like a professional manager

[edit] Student population
Hult students are 95% international, come from over 35 countries, and are multilingual with fluency in over 25 languages. They have an average of 6 years work experience and are professionals in industries such as Financial Services, Technology, Consulting, Manufacturing, Medical/Pharmaceutical, Energy, Supply Chain/Trade, and Real Estate/Construction.
[edit] Campuses
Hult students spend nine months at their home campus (either Boston, London or Dubai) to complete their core courses. When they move on to their elective modules, they are given an option (subject to visa approval and seat availability) to go to Hult's other campuses (Boston, London, Dubai, and Shanghai) to take their elective courses. Hult facilitates the campus rotation and assists with visa and housing arrangements.
Shanghai is a satellite campus of Hult which holds classes for both Boston and Dubai students during their first elective module. Here, students can earn up to 9 credits in elective coursework and are also exposed to a network of local business leaders by way of extracurricular campus activities.
