Hult International Business School (formerly known as the Arthur D. Little School of Management) is a business school with campuses in Boston, San Francisco, London, Dubai and Shanghai, and rotation centers in New York and São Paulo. It offers a range of business-focused degree programs including MBA, Executive MBA, Master and Bachelor degrees.

The school is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges[3] and the Association of MBAs.[4] The school has also been accredited by the British Accreditation Council of Independent Further and Higher Education.[5] Hult is a member of the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).[6]

Hult is affiliated with the privately held company, EF Education First and is named by EF's founder, Bertil Hult.The school is incorporated as Hult International Business School, Inc., a non-profit organization under Massachusetts law.[7]

History

The institution was established in 1964 by Arthur D. Little Inc. as the Management Education Institute,[8] a subsidiary for training of business executives from developing countries,[9] modeled on the MIT Sloan School of Management. In 1976, the Arthur D. Little school was accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges.[8]

In 1996, the school, then known as the Arthur D. Little School of Management, formed a partnership with Boston College's Carroll School of Management, giving it access to the college's facilities.[9] The following year the Arthur D. Little School of Management became an independent non-profit entity, with Arthur D. Little Inc. as its only shareholder.[9]

In 2002, after Arthur D. Little declared bankruptcy, Kaplan, Inc. initiated acquisition of the business school, renaming it the Concord School of Management and converting it to a for-profit school.[10][11][12] In November 2002, Kaplan abandoned its acquisition plans. At the time, the school had 26 students.[13]

In 2003, the founder of EF Education First, Bertil Hult, financially supported the school in its efforts to bring an international and practical learning to students around the world; growing it from its single Boston location to a global network of home campuses including San Francisco, London, Dubai, Shanghai and rotation centers in New York and Sao Paulo. The school was renamed Hult International Business School, honoring Bertil Hult's contribution, vision, and commitment in developing global business leaders.

After the accreditation of Hult's one year MBA program by Association of MBAs (AMBA) in 2005, Hult started its expansion in order to become an international business school. Its Shanghai campus opened in 2007. The Dubai campus opened in the following year, when Hult became the first American educational institution officially approved in the United Arab Emirates.[8] Hult acquired the former facilities of Huron University USA in London to open its new London campus in 2009. Hult's San Francisco campus opened in 2010.[8]

Aside from Hult's expansion of campuses around the world, in 2010, the first Hult Prize (then known as Hult Global Case Challenge) was launched, revolutionising the business of giving and benefitting One Laptop per Child.

Faculty

Hult has a list of faculty which is on par with other business schools, and includes many faculty members from colleges in the northeast of the USA (since the publication of this article, more than 33 percent were from the northeast of the USA).[14] Some of the Hult faculty also teach at Babson College, Harvard, INSEAD and other business schools.

Programs and locations

As of 2012, Hult offers educational programs in seven locations. Not all programs are available in all locations. The Boston campus hosts the full-time MBA and Master of International Business degree program. Students at the San Francisco campus can enroll in the full-time MBA, Master of International Business, Master of International Marketing, and the Master of Social Entrepreneurship. The London campus hosts Hult's full-time MBA, part-time MBA, Master of International Business, Master of International Marketing, Master of Social Entrepreneurship, Master of Finance and the Bachelor of International Business Administration with concentrations in General Business, Marketing, Finance, Social Entrepreneurship and Management. The Dubai campus offers the full-time MBA, part-time MBA, Master of International Business, and the Master of International Marketing. In Shanghai, Hult offers a Full-time MBA, Master of International Business, Master of Finance and part-time MBA program.

Hult's one year MBA program requires students to have a minimum of three years of full-time work experience, in addition to a minimum age requirement of 24 years of age. Hult also evaluates candidates on their GMAT, GPA, and language proficiency scores. The average GMAT score for an MBA candidate is 610. However, Hult's MBA admissions process is selective and evaluates candidates on their international experience, leadership capabilities, team working experience, and global mind-set.[15] It also has an Executive Track program within its MBA program for students who have scored particularly well on the GMAT and have "exceptional work experience."[16]

Hult is ranked 31st in the world and 20th in the U.S. by The Economist[17] and 65th by The Financial Times.[18] The Economist has also ranked it first in post-graduation salary increase, fourth in diversity of recruiters and 30th in student diversity, 92nd for student quality and 100th for faculty quality.[19] The Financial Times has ranked it first in international experience, third in international business, eight in international mobility, 92nd in the research rank and 97th for the alumni recommended rank and 95th placement success rank.[18][18][18][20]

Hult Prize

File:Hult prize.jpg

Hult organizes the Hult Prize (formerly Global Case Challenge), an annual international case competition that takes on global social challenges by generating ideas and solutions from students from around the world.[37] The organization is a member of the Clinton Global Initiative.[38] At the event, student teams of five from business schools from around the world are invited to participate at one of five international locations where teams compete to develop the best solutions around the proposed challenge area. Cities of competition include Boston, San Francisco, London, Dubai and Shanghai.[39]

In the 2010 event, the competition took on education in partnership with One Laptop per Child.[40] The 2011 event has partnered with Matt Damon's water.org to take on the clean water crisis.[41] 

Hult provides a $1 million cash grant to its partner NGO to help fund the winning solution.[42]

In 2012, Hult Prize has partnered with Habitat for Humanity, One Laptop Per Child and SolarAid to take on the global poverty crisis.

Former U.S. President Bill Clinton was the keynote speaker at the 2011 Global Final and will be the keynote speaker at the 2012 Global Final.[43]

Executive Speaker Series

Every year Hult International Business School hosts Executive Speaker Series, where renowned personalities and celebrities are called upon to share their thoughts on the present management difficulties and to suggest methodologies that they use to tackle these challenges. This series is then followed by an networking event where students are allowed to network with these dignitaries and their guests.[44]

The USD 100,000 prize for the world’s best business professor is the highest distinction for business teaching

The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), supported by Hult International Business School, launched the inaugural Business Professor of the Year Award last September 11, 2012, in London, United Kingdom

The award aims to recognise and reward the professors that have challenged, influenced, and inspired students in business education. An expert panel of judges from around the world will select a shortlist of four professors to compete in a live teach-off event in London, where students and alumni will vote to determine the winner. The judges will be looking for professors that have gone above and beyond to help their students on the path to future success, and identifying the teaching qualities that will help the next generation of leaders address the world’s challenges with ever more agility, independent thought and imagination. The panel is comprised of William Ridgers, Business Education Editor, The Economist; Peter Felix, President, The Association of Executive Search Consultants; Astrid Tuminez, former Vice-Dean of Executive Education, National University of Singapore; John Beck, Managing Director, Hult Labs; and Adrian Wooldridge, Management Editor, The Economist.
