Our 

History 

Our legacy in training global business 

leaders since 1964 shapes our future as the 

world’s most international business school. 

A practical 

business education 

In 1964, Hult, then known as the Arthur D. 

Little School of Management, was established 

as America’s first corporate university focused 

on delivering a practical business education 

for managers. The teaching pedagogy was 

different from other business schools’ due to 

its emphasis on “action learning”—applying 

classroom theory in the real world. This 

methodology was honed over 40 years and 

is central to Hult’s pioneering approach to 

practical business education today. 

The world’s most international 

business school 

In 2003, one of Europe’s most successful 

entrepreneurs, Bertil Hult, financially 

supported the school to expand its teaching 

methodology to not only train effective 

managers, but also prepare them to thrive on 

a global stage. Bertil Hult strongly believed 

that students must experience cultural 

differences and global business practices 

firsthand, growing the school from its 

single Boston location to a global network 

of campuses including London, Dubai, 

Shanghai, and San Francisco—creating 

Hult International Business School. 

1964 Arthur D. Little 

Inc., the world’s oldest 

management consulting 

firm, establishes the 

Management Education 

Institute, which develops 

an innovative, accelerated 

one-year Master degree 

program to train 

business leaders.

The world’s largest 

graduate business school 

Hult’s compelling vision of a practical and 

global business education has attracted many 

students from around the world. Today, Hult 

has grown to become the world’s largest 

graduate business school. Our growth 

demonstrates the tremendous demand for a 

hands-on and practical business education.

Why Hult? 

Why students choose the world’s 

most international business school: 

Global Campus Rotation 

Hult offers students a unique 

opportunity to see the world while they 

study. As a Master student, you can 

start anywhere and go anywhere. On 

Global Campus Rotation, you can pick 

your home campus and then choose 

to spend up to three months studying 

at two others. Students could begin 

in Boston, then travel to Shanghai 

via London or San Francisco via 

Dubai. You’ll get an inside look at the 

world’s fastest-growing economies 

and examine international business 

practices close-up. Almost 90% of our 

students choose Hult because they 

are interested in this option, and over 

half of our students spend time in more 

than one campus. 

Top-ranked 

business school 

Hult continues its rapid ascent in 

business school ratings, currently 

ranking in the top 1% of all business 

schools. Hult is ranked #1 for 

International Experience and #3 

for International Business by the 

Financial Time. Hult is ranked #20 

in the U.S. and #29 in the world by 

The Economist. 

Hands-on 

business experience 

Unlike other business schools that 

are research-oriented, 80% of Hult’s 

faculty have real-world experience. 

Many have worked for companies 

like P&G, Motorola, and Credit 

Suisse, while others have run their 

own businesses or created their own 

patents. Hult empowers students to 

develop their own real-world skills by 

completing a six-week Action Project 

in which they consult for a major 

company like Levi’s, Philips, Xerox, 

or IBM. This reinforces our mission to 

prepare job-ready graduates who can 

deliver results from day one. 

A U.S.- 

accredited degree 

American-style graduate programs 

have long been the premier standard in 

business education. Hult International 

Business School is accredited by the 

New England Association of Schools 

and Colleges (NEASC) and Association 

of MBAs (AMBA). That means that no 

matter where you decide to pursue 

your Master program, you will graduate 

with a U.S.-accredited degree. 

Lifelong 

international connections 

Hult immediately takes your network 

global. Hult students hail from 

over 120 countries and speak 105 

languages. This unparalleled diversity 

not only creates lifelong friendships 

and worldwide connections, but also 

provides you with firsthand experience 

working in multinational teams—a 

fundamental skill for a global executive. 

Thought- 

leading education 

Hult is on the cutting edge of business 

education in several key areas: 

emerging markets, digital marketing, 

social entrepreneurship, and 

crowdsourcing. The school launched 

the first dedicated Master program 

covering digital marketing, search 

engine technology, and the impact 

of social media. The school also 

organizes the world’s largest business 

school competition—the annual 

Hult Global Case Challenge—that 

crowdsources ideas from students all 

over the world to help a leading nonprofit 

organization tackle a major 

social challenge.

Hult helps map your path to professional success.

Global Campus Rotation 

Hult offers you the extraordinary opportunity to live, study, 

and experience international business firsthand at up to 

three of our five campuses. 

Immerse yourself 

in the world’s most 

influential cities 

Hult’s Global Campus Rotation gives you 

the chance to study at up to three of our 

five campuses. This provides you with 

a unique opportunity to experience 

firsthand the emerging markets of the 

Middle East, the powerhouse economy of 

China, or to develop a broad network of 

corporate and professional contacts 

across multiple continents. 

Once you start your Master on your home 

campus, you can decide where to take 

elective courses. Choose to stay on your 

home campus for the full year or spend up 

to 12 weeks on one or two other campuses. 

Imagine starting your Master program 

in London and then spending time in 

Shanghai before graduating in Boston. 

It’s a truly life-changing experience that 

only Hult can deliver. 

Hult Boston overlooks downtown 

and the Charles River. 

12 

Seamless experience, 

from Hult to Hult 

Our Global Campus Rotation is fully 

integrated into our Master program 

curriculum. In contrast to most business 

schools that offer their students study 

abroad opportunities through exchange 

programs with other schools, Hult prides 

itself on being the full provider of the Global 

Campus Rotation. 

No matter which Hult campus you are on, 

you will use the same electronic library, the 

same Course Management System, and will 

be familiar with the way our Career Services 

and Student Services work. 

You’ll mingle with classmates from other 

campuses during your Global Campus 

Rotation and build valuable contacts as 

you study alongside new faces and learn 

from different faculty on our campuses. 

Our global network ensures that your 

experience is uninterrupted and 

hassle-free. 

A closer look at 

international business 

By learning international business in a 

global setting, you’ll be able to put complex 

issues into context and gain new market 

insights. Study risk management on our 

Dubai campus and compare your ideas to 

those of regional thought leaders. Discuss 

a case study about the manufacturing 

industry in China and then go on a tour of 

the world’s largest textile factory. Nothing 

can replace the experience of getting an 

on-the-ground understanding of what is 

happening in different parts of the world— 

international business cannot just be taught 

in a classroom.

Boston from your classroom, Hult Boston is in a prime location. Down 

the street from the great universities of MIT and Harvard, and within 

walking distance of historic Beacon Hill, our campus was designed 

by renowned Swedish architect Thomas Sandell. This internationallyacclaimed 

building has excellent facilities that include an on-site 

restaurant with a bar and outdoor patio. The birthplace of the 

management consulting field, Boston also serves as headquarters to 

biotech, fund management, and a host of other key industries. This is 

a great place to build business contacts, as our campus is a magnet 

for an impressive array of speakers.

Located in the center of London, Hult’s campus is a newly refurbished 

landmark building that overlooks Gray’s Inn Garden in the famous 

literary and academic district of Bloomsbury. As a Hult student, you 

will benefit from what economists call the “cluster effect”: the added 

value of studying in London where the close concentration of so 

many top academic institutions creates an optimal environment for 

learning and networking opportunities. You are within striking distance 

of the best that London has to offer: world-class museums and 

parks, Oxford Street’s shops, Covent Garden’s theaters, Marylebone’s

East meets West in Dubai 

Modern, fascinating, and safe, Dubai is an important gateway for 

trade flow between the East and West. As one of the most compelling 

cities in the Middle East, Dubai has also been reinventing itself as one 

of the world’s most cosmopolitan—it is the region’s center for finance, 

logistics, shipping, and aviation. Home to more than 150 nationalities, 

with over 80 percent of the population hailing from outside the United 

Arab Emirates, Dubai is the preferred regional headquarters for many 

of the world’s top multinationals operating in the Middle East. Hult 

Dubai’s impressive contact list gives our students the opportunity to 

meet with experts in industries from logistics to finance, all year round, 

at company visits and on campus.

Dynamic city, dynamic campus 

Hult’s Dubai campus is located in the Dubai International Academic 

City (DIAC), an exclusive cluster of universities and institutes. Our 

secure, modern student accommodation is located five minutes from 

Mirdif City Center, one of Dubai’s largest commercial outlets and 

shopping malls. Designed by internationally renowned architects, 

Hult’s futuristic campus is bathed in natural light and is a beehive

Shanghai 

Hult’s Shanghai campus. 

Live in the world’s fastest 

growing economy 

Shanghai is a city of breathtaking transformations—towering 

skyscrapers springing up next to ancient lane houses, sophisticated 

boutiques emerging out of open-air markets. The ascendancy of 

China as an economic superpower centers around Shanghai. Known 

as the “Pearl of the Orient,” Shanghai boasts unrivaled cultural status 

in China as the birthplace of new trends and life-changing ideas. With

Our hands-on approach to learning helps you become 

job-ready from day one. 

26

Our 

LEAP Method 

Employers want graduates who are job-ready. We’ve 

designed our curriculum so that you don’t just study 

abstract theory—you also get hands-on experience. 

Our innovative curriculum is based on three components, 

“Learn, Experience, Action Project”: LEAP. 

1. Learn 

Hult’s LEAP method is an integrated 

approach to learning that enables you 

to be able to put classroom theory 

into practice. 

Start your Master by learning theory 

and business fundamentals in the 

classroom. Like most top business 

schools, Hult faculty employ the 

case study method to illustrate how 

business principles are applied in 

practice. Professors encourage 

thought-provoking class discussions to 

facilitate the exchange of ideas and the 

sharing of experiences. Hult provides 

you with the theory, tools, terminology, 

and trends to give you a broad 

perspective on business. However, 

unlike other top business schools, 

Hult goes beyond the theoretical to 

the practical. 

2. Experience 

Experience is a critical component 

of our LEAP method. Your year 

will include panel discussions 

with industry experts, company 

visits, and exclusive networking 

opportunities. These features will 

give you an opportunity to relate 

theory to practice. 

Meaningful dialogue with prominent 

business leaders will offer valuable 

insights into how executives make 

decisions in a fast-moving, 

competitive environment with 

imperfect information. 

Past classroom speakers include 

a senior executive of Real Madrid 

Football Club, who explained the 

economics of running one of the 

world’s largest sports franchises; the 

co-founder of Apple Computer, who 

discussed how to maintain innovation 

in a changing business environment; 

and the head of a major Silicon 

Valley venture capital firm, who 

advised students on how to approach 

and evaluate potential venture 

capital opportunities. 

3. Action Project 

Participate in a real-world project for 

a major company. Advised by a 

mentor (typically an experienced 

management consultant), small teams 

of students compete with one another 

to develop a business strategy for a 

leading multinational. 

No other business school offers such 

access to key decision-makers of 

the world’s leading companies. Over 

a period of six weeks, each team 

will consult with company managers 

to make a business case for the 

development of a novel idea. Each 

team will present its recommendations 

to a senior company leader. 

Hult’s Action Projects are designed to 

emphasize competition, innovation, 

and growth. Though the scope of 

Action Projects varies, projects focus 

on a central challenge facing the senior 

executive team of the company.

Life in 

There will be times when you’ll want 

to close your textbooks and get out 

of the house, but you might not be 100% 

familiar with social offerings available to you. 

That’s why we created Life in—a website 

featuring social content generated only by 

Hult students. The site features extensive 

galleries of user-submitted photos and a 

wealth of student reviews of restaurants, 

cafes, night clubs, local bars, and attractions 

to help you plan your free time. When you’re 

ready to add to the discussion, you can 

upload photos and reviews of your own. 

The site can even be accessed through your 

existing Facebook profile. Take a moment and

Launch your 

career directly after 

undergraduate studies 

with a one-year, 

intensive Master of 

International Business. 

Meet the challenges of a 

global marketplace 

A strong understanding of how the world is 

interconnected through finance, marketing, 

operations, technology, and strategy gives 

students an immediate head start to launch 

their careers. Hult’s Master of International 

Business (MIB) degree helps students acquire 

practical business knowledge with a focus on 

international and cross-cultural understanding 

of the marketplace. This degree is particularly 

well-suited to recent university graduates 

(business and non-business majors) who do 

not have extensive work experience. This 

degree is also appropriate for those with 

work experience who seek to move into the 

international business realm. 

Curriculum combines hard skills with 

lessons in decision making and strategy 

Hult’s MIB curriculum delivers an 

understanding of today’s global marketplace. 

Initially, students focus on learning hard skills 

in international finance, marketing, operations,

and strategy. Subsequently, graduates also 

gain the analytical, problem-solving, and 

critical-thinking skills necessary to make 

decisions in a rapidly evolving, cross-cultural 

world. Through a combination of case study 

discussions and lectures, students will also 

acquire presentation and communication 

skills necessary to work and excel in 

multinational settings and companies. 

Hult’s Global Campus Rotation Program 

Our business school has been ranked 

#1 in International Experience and #3 in 

International Business in the Financial Times 

(2012). We firmly believe that an international 

perspective is crucial to understanding 

today’s business issues. Hult’s Global 

Campus Rotation Program allows students 

to gain critical insights into the world’s 

key economies and firsthand international 

business experience. You can pursue your 

MIB in Boston, San Francisco, London, 

Dubai, or Shanghai. During the elective 

module, you can choose to remain at 

your home campus or study at a different 

Hult campus. 

Action Project gives you great exposure 

Our Action Project gives students exposure 

to real-world companies. They work in small 

teams, led by a faculty advisor to solve a 

business problem or think of growth channels 

for multinational companies. MIB students 

are given the chance to apply what they have 

learned in a true business setting, helping 

them get job-ready for their future. 

How your Action Project works 

We place you in small teams and assign each 

team to a leading business or company to 

help solve a real business problem. Each team 

is led by a faculty advisor. At each of Hult’s 

international campuses, we have created 

partnerships with leading global multinationals 

and business executives. Within each of 

these companies, five student teams work 

intimately with a high-level executive in charge 

of growing the company. Student teams are 

further motivated to work at high standards by 

competing with each other. 

Over six weeks, these teams meet with 

the company executive(s) four times while 

facing the task of developing a full-fledged 

plan to grow the company. Simultaneously, 

they are aided through the process by one 

of Hult’s world-class consulting coaches. 

During this distinctive project, each team will 

develop insights about the particular industry 

and business, identify breakthrough ideas, 

develop a business concept, and build an 

implementation plan to present to senior 

executives and CEOs.

Deutsche Bank, and Accenture, actively 

recruit graduates who have both strong 

business skills and possess an international 

perspectives. There is no shortage of 

opportunities for MIB graduates. 

Convert seamlessly to a Hult MBA 

Hult’s MIB is taught by the same faculty 

as Hult’s top-ranked MBA program, and 

follows an abbreviated version of the MBA 

curriculum. Because our MIB and MBA 

curricula are highly synchronized, MIB 

graduates can convert to a Hult MBA degree 

after three years of work experience and an 

additional 23 credits.* 

* To enroll in the MBA program, MIB graduates must have 2 years post-MIB work 

experience (and three years overall work experience) and demonstrate requisite 

GMAT scores for admission. 

Enhance your employability with project 

management skills 

In today’s business world, the demand 

for skilled project managers is urgent and 

growing. About 80 percent of all major 

projects fail to meet expectations because 

of cost overruns or substandard quality. 

Fewer than 20 percent of all major projects 

are completed on time. Key projects are 

expanding not only in terms of numbers, but 

also in terms of scale, scope, and medium. 

They are stretching the capabilities of forprofit 

and non-profit organization managers, 

rapidly moving from the physical to the virtual, 

accelerating the pace of globalization, and 

changing the way in which we do business.

Hult’s Master of Social 

Entrepreneurship is a 

highly practical program 

focused on how to 

apply business skills to 

important global social 

problems. Learn how 

to deploy innovative 

business solutions to 

large-scale social issues. 

What is social entrepreneurship? 

Social entrepreneurs are often from the 

corporate sector or people who are business 

entrepreneurs, who are passionate about 

social issues. They think about ways to 

combine resources in innovative ways to 

address social, political, or environmental 

concerns as any profit-making enterprise 

does. The most important difference between 

a traditional business and a social enterprise 

is that profit is not the main motive. The 

enterprise must be sustainable and not incur 

losses, but the overall driving force is about 

maximizing social impact. 

Sample One-Year of Social Entrepreneurship 1 


2 Electives may only be taken where the MSE program is offered, subject to capacity constraints. 

44 

Why is social entrepreneurship 

important now? 

Solutions to global social problems need 

innovative and entrepreneurial approaches 

more than ever. Increasingly, central 

governments are reducing their expenditures 

on social issues, either unable to fund 

expensive programs, or concluding that 

traditional methods have failed to have 

impact. At the same time, needs are 

becoming greater and more complex. 

Evidence indicates that social entrepreneurs 

are making a difference, often in areas where 

government and international development 

may have failed. In some countries, 

governments are looking into how social 

entrepreneurs are solving problems. 

The scope of social entrepreneurship 

Social entrepreneurs tackle major social 

issues, from increasing the availability of 

quality education for low-income students 

to fighting poverty in developing countries. 

Social entrepreneurship takes place in both 

non-profit and for-profit organizations, and 

successful social entrepreneurs must build 

relationships with corporations, charities, 

and governments alike. Social entrepreneurs 

must be knowledgeable about contemporary 

global issues, solution-oriented, and adept 

at mobilizing human, financial, and political 

resources to support their project. 

Pragmatic learning outcomes 

Hult’s pioneering Master of Social 

Entrepreneurship (MSE) gives you the skills 

necessary to engage in successful issueadvocacy, 

problem-solving innovation, 

and project development. Graduates will 

be empowered to act as effective leaders 

of change, either via new ventures of their 

own or through existing for-profit, non-profit, 

and governmental institutions. The program 

emphasizes building core business skills 

optimized for socio-political contexts. 

Action Project provides 

hands-on experience 

The capstone of Hult’s Master programs, 

the Action Project, calls upon students to 

put knowledge and skills to the test as they 

become consultants for actual organizations 

working on real-world challenges. Social 

entrepreneurship is about “thinking” and 

“doing,” and the Hult program is unique in 

placing you in a position to do both, not just 

in the classroom, but in front of a real client. 

Become part of Hult’s commitment to 

social change 

Hult is at the forefront of social 

entrepreneurship among the world’s 

leading business schools. As a Clinton 

Global Initiative member, Hult is committed 

to tackling the world’s toughest social 

challenges through crowdsourcing innovative 

ideas and solutions from the world’s best and 

brightest business school students.

Global 

Alumni Network 

The Hult experience lasts beyond your one year 

on campus. After you graduate, the Hult Alumni 

Association provides you with continual support 

through a series of initiatives designed to boost 

your career. 

Exclusive network 

of alumni 

One of the most enduring benefits of 

your Hult Master degree will be joining 

the global network of Hult alumni. The 

Hult Alumni Association alone—run 

by a committee of past graduates 

and current students—produces 

an excellent annual return on your 

investment in a year at Hult. We have 

more than 5,500 alumni around the 

world who span a wide cross-section 

of industries and include an impressive 

number of CEOs, entrepreneurs, 

government ministers, diplomats, and 

well-connected senior executives. 

From Tokyo to Caracas and Shanghai 

to Berlin, Hult alumni chapters are 

active in 23 world cities. 

Master classes 

in alumni cities 

85 percent of our alumni live outside of a 

campus city, so we bring Master Classes 

to them—free of charge. Examples of 

classes offered this year include: 

• Leading in Multicultural 

Organizations (Moscow, Madrid) 

• Bidding Strategies (Brussels, 

Frankfurt) 

• Change Management (Kuala 

Lumpur, Bangkok) 

• Social Media (Milan, Munich) 

• Entrepreneurship (Abu Dhabi) 

Free electives for 

the rest of your life 

Come back to the classroom to keep 

your knowledge cutting edge. As an 

alumnus, each year you can take one 

elective at any of our campuses at 

no cost—an option that would cost 

USD3,000 annually if you used a 

professional training firm. You may join a 

course at any campus if you have a valid 

visa to study in that country. We give you 

the flexibility to arrange your own flights 

and accommodations. 

Hult Connect App for 

alumni to stay in touch 

Once you graduate, it’s easy to 

stay connected with the school and 

your classmates. Hult Connect is 

an app installed on your iPhone/ 

iPad, allowing you to find Hult alumni 

with its worldwide map (including a 

GPS feature that will guide you to 

the alumnus you want to connect 

with). Follow school announcements, 

reunions, social gatherings, and 

executive speakers events through 

this application. 

Hult LinkedIn 

The Hult LinkedIn group is an exclusive 

online forum to network with high 

profile senior executives, open to 

Hult alumni only. Join Hult Alumni 

LinkedIn group to connect with over 

1,400 members around the world in 

various industries. Our alumni engage 

in discussions, share information, 

and post job offers and relevant 

business news to this group. 

The school manages this group, 

makes announcements, and posts 

event invitations.

Top-Ranked 

One-Year MBA 

Hult’s world-class MBA program has been 

designed to accelerate your career in business. 

One global MBA, five locations 

Hult’s Global Campus Rotation provides 

an extraordinary opportunity to study in the 

world’s key economies. An international 

perspective is crucial to understanding 

today’s business issues. You can opt to 

pursue your MBA in Boston, San Francisco, 

London, Dubai, or Shanghai. No matter which 

home campus you choose, you will receive 

the same fully accredited one-year MBA 

education of identical quality with the same 

intensive curriculum. Students spend nine 

months at their home campus for their core 

courses, and can choose to take their elective 

courses on one of Hult’s other campuses. 

Executive MBA 

A part-time MBA designed for professionals who 

seek to enhance their credentials and knowledge 

while gaining an international perspective. 

Highly flexible part-time program 

available weekly or monthly 

Our Executive MBA curriculum, identical to 

Hult’s fully accredited, top-ranked, full-time 

MBA program, is delivered over two years 

instead of one, allowing busy professionals 

to continue working while they pursue their 

degree. Study weekly, with classes on 

weekday evenings and limited weekends over 

a 24-month period, or study monthly, with 

classes taught over four consecutive days a 

month. Whether you are based in the same 

city or region as our campus, or need to take 

the time out to travel, we have a schedule 

that suits your requirements. In addition, we 

allow our Executive MBA students to start 

and stop their studies module-by-module. 

On average, Hult Executive MBA students 

graduate in two years. 

54 

Other Hult Programs 

Hult’s MBA pays for itself in half the time 

of other programs 

Compared to other top business schools, Hult 

represents a very smart investment. Equipped 

with an MBA, Hult graduates command 

competitive starting salaries (the average 

starting salary for the MBA class of 2010 

was USD97,400). The fact that a one-year 

MBA program costs less and gets students 

back to the workforce sooner means Hult 

graduates, on average, are able to recoup 

their investment in just over a year. This is 

far quicker than traditional two-year U.S. 

MBA programs. 

For exposure to international business, 

there is no better place to study 

Acknowledged as the #1 in International 

Experience and #3 in International Business 

in the Financial Times (2012), Hult gives you 

unparalleled opportunities to utilize new 

business tools, gain valuable credentials, 

and meet a diverse and impressive group 

of international business professionals. In 

addition, Hult’s global Career Services teams 

are experts on identifying and securing job 

opportunities for global professionals. 

Offered in London, Dubai, and Shanghai

in London, Dubai, and Shanghai. Study in 

one of the world’s biggest economic hubs at 

Hult’s well-located central London campus. 

A truly international student body 

Hult’s students are internationally experienced 

professionals with an average age of 30 and 

an average of six years of work experience. 

The breadth of experience, insight, and 

cultural perspective that Hult students bring 

to the classroom creates an extraordinary 

learning experience. 

Faculty with real-world experience 

The Hult faculty possess outstanding 

academic credentials and real-world 

experience in operating successful 

businesses, in management consulting, and 

in occupying senior roles in banking, trade, 

and industry. The majority have extensive 

international experience. 

Pursue your Executive MBA on Hult’s ultramodern 

Dubai campus in one of the world’s 

most dynamic cities. Or take your courses 

in Shanghai, the center of China’s booming 

economic growth. 

Build an impressive network 

Successful professionals have extensive 

networks. Hult provides you with the specific 

training integral to build your own network, 

including social media utilization workshops 

and in-person networking opportunities. Your 

fellow Executive MBA peers are drawn from a 

wide cross-section of industries, nationalities,

Admissions Policy 

The admissions policy of the Hult International Business School is intended 

to assess how an applicant might contribute to and benefit from an 

intensive graduate business education in a culturally diverse institutional 

environment. It reflects a “holistic approach” to application review based 

on (1) Basic Admissions Criteria, (2) Primary Personal Factors, and (3) 

Secondary Personal Factors, as set forth below: 

Basic Admissions Criteria 

1. Satisfactory GMAT and/or GRE required for MFIN, preferred but not 

essential for MIB, not required for MIM and MSE.

3. Publications

They may not, however, be subsumed to a standard formula or ranking. 

They will be considered in conjunction with all other admissions criteria and 

factors, in light of the School’s mission and purpose. 

Financial Aid Policy 

The Hult financial aid policy is intended to advance the School’s mission 

to deliver a useful and enduring business education to international 

professionals. It is based on the following objectives: 

(1) to promote a nationally, culturally, and ethnically diverse student body, 

(2) to encourage outstanding applicants to enroll in the Hult Program, 

(3) to provide financial assistance to qualified applicants in need of such 

assistance. Consistent with these objectives, Hult has set forth the 

following guidelines for the awarding of scholarships, fellowships, and 

other forms of financial aid: 

All such awards should be based on the following criteria: 

1. Country of origin to ensure national, cultural, and ethnic diversity 

2. Financial need 

3. Specialized knowledge, skills, and/or expertise 

4. Career goals 

5. Entrepreneurial skills 

6. Community, public, or national service 

7. Evidence of: 

• Leadership

should be considered in light of the School’s admissions criteria, its mission 

and purpose, and U.S. Equal Opportunity laws. 

Withdrawal Policy 

A student may withdraw from the Master program at any time upon 

giving written notice to the School’s Registrar. The withdrawing student 

may re-enter the program at a later date (up to five years after original 

enrollment), without having to reapply for admission. He or she may use 

any unexpired refund credit (see “Refund Policy” below) toward the receipt 

of educational services or materials, priced at the rate prevailing at the time 

of re-entry. Course choices and study program will be subject to space 

and scheduling availability. In addition to providing written notice to the 

Registrar, all students must meet with the Dean prior to withdrawing. 

Resource and Capacity Constraints 

Global Rotation Program The Global Rotation Program is subject to 

capacity constraints. Students must be in good academic standing and be 

up-to-date on tuition payments to participate in this program. 

Electives Electives are subject to capacity and scheduling constraints; 

not all electives will be available on all campuses. In general, when 

oversubscribed, elective spaces are allocated based on preferences 

elicited from the students. 

Specializations in project management (MIB) and digital marketing (MIM) 

will be only be offered on select campuses each year. Final campus 

locations will be determined based on student interest, capacity, and 

scheduling constraints. 

iPads Hult’s intention is that all students receive an iPad as part of their 

Hult program. Hult cannot, however, be responsible for iPad availability and 

the supply of the iPads will therefore be subject to availability. 

Refund Policy 

The School grants only credit refunds that may be used within a five-year 

period for future educational services. It does not grant cash refunds. 

The date on which the notice of intention to withdraw and not re-enter is 

received by the Registrar, or the date on which the student is informed of 

his or her dismissal from the School, will determine that student’s liability for 

tuition and other program-related costs. 

1. If the notice of intention is received before the first day of the Master 

Toolbox, the student will be entitled to a full credit refund of any paid 

tuition and other program-related costs, less the program deposit, 

application fees, and insurances fees, which are non-refundable. 

After the first day of class in the Master Toolbox or in any module, the 

amount of any refund will be based on the following schedule: 

Withdrawals after: Will receive a credit refund for: 

First day of Toolbox Tuition for Modules A, B, C, D and E 

First day of Module A Tuition for Modules B, C, D and E 

First day of Module B Tuition for Modules C, D and E 

First day of Module C Tuition for Modules D and E 

First day of Module D No refund will be due 

2. In the case of a student who receives financial aid from Hult in the form

The California Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF) 

For California residents attending the San Francisco campus it is a 

California State requirement that the School collect $2.50 per $1,000 of 

tuition on behalf of the Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF) at the time of 

first payment or after enrolment in the San Francisco campus. The Student 

Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF) was established by the California Legislature 

to protect any California resident who attends a private postsecondary 

institution from losing money, if a student prepaid tuition and suffered a 

financial loss as a result of the school closing the student is entitled to 

claim compensation. 

Grading Procedure 

1. Grading Standards 

Course instructors will evaluate and assess participant performance. 

Grades are assigned according to the Instructor’s assessment of 

performance on the intellectual and professional criteria established 

for the course. The Instructor has full authority and responsibility to 

establish performance criteria, evaluate participant performance, 

and award grades. The Faculty uses the following grading system to 

evaluate participant performance: 

Points Grade Performance 

4.00 A Outstanding 

3.67 A- Excellent 

3.33 B+ Very Good 

3.00 B Good 

2.67 B- Acceptable 

2.33 C+ High Marginal 

2.00 C Marginal 

1.67 C- Low Marginal 

1.00 D Unsatisfactory 

0 F Fail 

Acceptable graduate-level work is a B- or better. The Registrar releases 

official final course grades at the end of each module in the form of a 

transcript. Individual grade breakdowns (participation, homework, and 

exam grades, for example) are available only from Instructors. Every 

Hult student is entitled to know the manner in which his or her course 

grade was calculated. 

2. Grade Point Average 

A weighted grade point average (GPA) is computed by multiplying the 

numerical grade received for each course or module by the number of 

credit hours per course, totaling these figures, then dividing the sum 

by the total credit hours. “Pass” and “Incomplete” grades and their 

corresponding credits are not factored into the weighted average. A 

“Fail” will be factored into the weighted average as a numerical grade 

of zero. 

Every course in which a student has enrolled, and for which a student 

has been assigned a letter grade, will be denoted on his or her 

transcript. Every letter grade denoted on the transcript will be factored 

into the calculation of the student’s overall GPA. 

Graduation Requirements 

1. Basic Requirements Master candidates must complete 39 credits of 

course work to be eligible for their respective degree. Course credit is 

awarded for achieving a grade better than “F” on a course. All courses 

in Module A, B and C, as well as the skills track courses must be 

completed with a satisfactory grade. Should a participant receive an 

“F” on a required course, this course must be re-taken at Hult or an 

approved institution within a period of three years from the participant’s 

original enrollment date and the participant must achieve a satisfactory 

grade. Those who satisfy all program requirements (including: 

participation in all courses, payment of all financial obligations, return 

of all library materials, and completion of all evaluations), who receive 

a grade other than “Incomplete” for each course, who have no 

outstanding Honor Code issues, and who have a final GPA of 2.70 

or better are granted the Master degree. Degrees are recommended 

by the Dean to the Faculty and the Board of Trustees and awarded 

by vote of the Faculty and the Board. In addition, for visa purposes, 

the student must meet full-time student residency requirements of the 

campus host country. 

2. Dean’s List Participants who earn a GPA of 3.60 or above for any 

Module are formally named to the Hult International Business School 

Dean’s List for that Module. Qualifying participants receive notification 

from the Dean with appropriate recording in the participant’s 

permanent academic file. With the participant’s approval, formal 

announcement of this scholastic achievement will be made to 

respective sponsors and agencies. The School is very pleased to offer 

this achievement award and hopes this award will serve as added 

incentive for all participants. 

3. Graduation with Honors Participants graduating with a cumulative 

GPA at or above 3.60 and who are in the top 10% of the class will 

be designated a Hult Scholar and will receive their degree “with 

Distinction” indicating the highest honor. Those whose cumulative 

GPA is 3.60 or above but who are not in the top 10% of the class will 

receive their degree “with Excellence,” as recommended to the Faculty 

and Board of Trustees by the Dean. 

Dismissal from the Program 

The School reserves the right to dismiss any participant at any time whose 

academic performance is unsatisfactory, whose conduct constitutes 

unacceptable professional behavior, or whose legal or medical problems 

hinder satisfactory performance. In such cases, the Dean will notify the 

participant in writing, a degree will not be awarded to the participant, and, 

as appropriate, the participant’s sponsor will be notified.
