What Makes Us Different?

Hult’s Global Rotation Program provides an extraordinary opportunity to study in the world’s fastest growing economies

An international perspective is crucial to understanding today’s business issues. Hult’s Global Rotation Program allows students to gain critical insights into the world’s key economies. You can opt to pursue your MBA in Boston, San Francisco, London, or Dubai. No matter which home campus you choose, you will receive the same fully accredited one-year MBA education of identical quality, using an identical curriculum. Students will spend nine months at their home campus (Boston, San Francisco, London, or Dubai) for the core courses. When students move on to their elective modules, they will be given an option to study at Hult’s other campuses. Shanghai’s study abroad campus is available during the first elective module.

Hult’s one-year payback—comparison with other MBA schools

Hult’s MBA pays for itself in half the time of other programs, representing a very smart investment. Furthermore, our students command competitive starting salaries when equipped with a Hult MBA. In combination with the fact that our one-year MBA costs less and gets students back to the workforce sooner, our graduates are, on average, able to recoup their investment in just over a year. This is far quicker than traditional two-year U.S. MBA programs or more expensive one-year European MBA programs. This means that a Hult MBA not only amplifies your earning power, but also maximizes your time and resources. Please see the chart below for a comparison with other programs.

Pioneers in Action Learning

Action Learning integrates classroom teaching with real-life situations. At Hult, we focus on “learning by doing”, not simply sitting in a classroom, but actually going into the real world and applying the tools and concepts to real business situations. Theory is taught in the classroom through lectures and required readings. The theory is put to the test in real-life situations through case studies of actual business problems and business simulations. An integral part of our curriculum is the Action Learning Project, which gives you the chance to apply the skills you have learned in the classroom and work as part of a small team focused on solving a current business problem for a real company.

A truly international student body

For over 40 years we have been training leaders from all over the world—from Spain to South Africa, Iceland to India, and China to Chile. Our current student body is made up of experienced professionals from over 80 different countries with an average age of 30, and with an average of seven years of work experience. The breadth of experience, insight, and cultural perspectives that our students bring to the classroom creates an extraordinary learning experience.

Our world-class faculty possesses real-world business experience

Our global faculty has outstanding academic credentials combined with real-life experience running and managing successful businesses. Hult professors are seasoned professionals with expertise in teaching international managers—80 percent have extensive international experience and many are citizens of countries other than the U.S. A substantial portion of our faculty are practitioners and are actively engaged as directors of corporations, consultants, or managers of growth companies.

For over 40 years, we have attracted top international students to our unique one-year MBA. Our campuses around the world help train global business leaders. What makes us so successful?

Formerly known as the Arthur D. Little School of Management

Hult International Business School was formerly known as the Arthur D. Little School of Management. Arthur D. Little Inc., the world’s first

management consulting firm, established the school in 1964 to train global business leaders.

Arthur Dehon Little (1863-1935) was an MIT-educated chemist who is known as the father of the consulting industry. Dr. Little started his company in 1886 in Cambridge, Massa chusetts. As the first to see the need for a professional organi-zation to provide systematic research and development and sage advice to industry, Dr. Little began the original consulting practice that spawned successors like McKinsey, Bain, BCG, and Monitor. For 120 years, the company and the ideas that Arthur D. Little conceived have helped indus try and governments manage change induced by technological, economic, and social forces. Today, Arthur D. Little is part of an international network of more than 18,000 professionals in over 30 countries around the world.

Understand firsthand how China is changing the world.

Fernando Cabral Executive VPIDEIA para a cidadania, Portugal Portugal, Class of 2008

I consider myself fortunate for having had the opportunity to take the Hult MBA. One year that changed the way I experience the world and accept the richness of diversity. The time I spent in Shanghai was the crowning point of my multicultural experience. One thing is to read or hear about China, another very different is to experience it.

Hult Shanghai

Shanghai is a city of breathtaking transformations—modern skyscrapers juxtaposed next to ancient lane houses, and sophisticated shops neighboring open-air markets. You can take elective courses at our study abroad campus in the heart of this remarkable city-on-the-move.

The “Pearl of the Orient”

The ascendancy of China as an economic superpower is centered in Shanghai. Known as the “Pearl of the Orient”, Shanghai has been compared to New York or Paris in sophistication and trend-setting power.

Amazing downtown location

Hult’s downtown campus sits in the heart of this dynamic and fast-paced city, and is located in the city’s commercial, financial, retail, and social center. Footsteps away are Shanghai’s most famous shopping street, Nanjing Road, and the extraordinary Shanghai Museum.

Our Action Learning is forged by the realities of business to educate useful and global business leaders

Our Action Learning curriculum has been shaped by the real-world needs of today’s best companies. No other MBA program offers anything like it. We’ve reached out to leading companies and executives and they’ve told us what they need: the management and leadership skills required for success as a global manager. This curriculum assures that Hult’s MBA graduates will have already practiced the skills they need to help businesses grow in the new economy.

How our Action Learning program works

Our Action Learning program begins by using the Harvard Business School case method of instruction to teach you the latest business practices in class. Then, we place students in small teams led by a faculty advisor and assign each team to a leading business or company to help solve a real business problem.

At each of Hult’s international campuses, the Action Learning program has created partnerships with the best companies in the local area. In Boston, this includes leading firms such as Pfizer, EMC, Philips Healthcare, and Sherman Williams. While in Dubai, students can work with premier organizations such as Emirates NBD Bank as well as Dubai Ports, which manages the largest seaport in the world.

Within each of these companies, five student teams work intimately with a high-level executive who is 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 they face the task of coming up with a fully-fledged plan to grow the company. Simultaneously, they are aided through the process by one of Hult’s world-class consulting coaches. At the end, they present their findings to an Executive Team in the boardroom of the corporation.

Action Learning is a hands-on approach to learning and is the cornerstone of our curriculum. By applying classroom learning to actual business situations, Hult students gain a powerful and practical business education that helps them think strategically about innovation and growth.

"We hired a recent Hult graduate to join our sourcing group and she has been terrific! Her analytical skills are outstanding and she has an international perspective that is so valuable as we look to expand our sourcing opportunities. Hult MBA students are high on our recruiting list."

Emerson Foster Director of Talent Acquisition Stop & Shop/Ahold, U.S.

“The Action Learning Project was a key dimension of our learning in the MBA program. We designed and developed a partner channel strategy for a software firm, which was eagerly implemented by the client. To see our efforts being transformed into useful results for such a large company was really an exciting and fulfilling achievement!”

Hult’s Master of International Business 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 people who have work experience but seek to move into the international business realm.


An international perspective is crucial to understanding today’s business issues. Hult’s Global Rotation Program allows students to gain critical insights into the world’s key economies and firsthand international business experience. You can opt to pursue your Master of International Business in Boston, San Francisco, London, or Dubai. During the elective module, students can choose to remain at their home campus or study at a different Hult campus, including Shanghai.

Curriculum combines hard skills with lessons in decision-making and strategy

Hult’s Master of International Business 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.

Internship Elective Program

Gain valuable on-the-job experience to bolster your classroom knowledge and expand your industry contacts. Our global Career Services team reaches out to hiring managers in companies of all sizes and industries in order to provide you with unrivaled contacts for the first step in your career. Please note that selection for the Internship Elective Program is based on a student’s academic background, extracurricular activities pre-Hult, and language communication skills. Outside of the U.S., internships will generally take place during Module C. In the U.S., students participating in an internship during the summer may be required to extend their degree program over 15 months. For all locations, internships must take place at their home campus.

Enhance your employability

In today’s increasingly competitive job market, this degree gives graduates a sound foundation in international business that students can bring to any new job and apply on day one. Hult’s Career Services team works closely with students throughout the year in their job search, arranging recruiting fairs, campus networking opportunities, and internship placements. With no work experience required upon admission, Hult’s Master of International Business degree can jumpstart your career.

A seamless path to a rewarding future

Hult’s Master of International Business 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 21 credits, with no re-application requirements.

Hult’s Master of International Business degree (MIB) helps launch students’ careers immediately after undergraduate studies with a one-year, intensive global business education, offered in our global locations—Boston, San Francisco, London, Dubai, and Shanghai.

Master of Arts in International Relations

Learn how to identify patterns and effect change

The field of International Relations continues to develop rapidly in response to dramatic global changes. Graduates grounded in the facts of the past, skilled in the debates of the present, and able to anticipate patterns of future development will be ready to shape institutional responses to global change.

Course grounded in contemporary events and reality

Hult offers a practical MA in International Relations which prepares students for global challenges by providing a broad platform of knowledge about the international system, its key actors, and its essential dynamics. Coursework covers issues such as cross-border migration, globalization, the widening poverty gap, the impact of American foreign policy, and the threat of terrorism. The MA program explores critical perspectives on these issues, engaging students in question-driven analysis and the search for constructive global change.

Highly flexible curriculum allows you to specialize

The MA in International Relations program is highly flexible, and the range of courses allows students to concentrate on selected areas while developing a broad base of knowledge across the discipline as a whole. During a 12-month period (longer for part-time study), students undertake a series of flexible course modules and write a thesis on a topic of their choice.

Put your knowledge to work: field studies or internship opportunities

Field studies and internships put theory into practice, allowing students to gain hands-on experience of project-related work in a global context. Previous field studies range from: a conflict resolution tour in Jordan, a global justice tour in The Hague, and a security studies tour of NATO in Brussels to an ecological field study in Vietnam. These life-changing experiences bridge the gap between classroom and real-world skills.

Career opportunities for MA in International Relations graduates

This MA program opens opportunities in a wide range of areas including: diplomacy, foreign relations, global civil service, non-government organizations, public policy consulting, risk analysis, think tanks, and non-profit organizations.

“Fieldwork is an invaluable experience for International Relations. I spent two months living and working in a Liberian refugee camp in Ghana. What I learned changed my world view, my perspective on security, and my outlook on organizations that were created to protect people but fail to do so. The experience changed my life and I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.”

Samantha Feinstein MA International Relations Degree Candidate Class of 2009

Hult’s Master of Arts (MA) in International Relations trains students to evaluate and analyze global issues and trends, and become active players in an increasingly complex world.

A small class size also guarantees that your individual language needs are addressed and fulfilled.

You are welcome to participate in any of Hult’s numerous weekly student activities: network with talented Hult MBAs and alumni, participate in a wide range of Hult executive seminars, attend project presentations and guest lectures, and get to know your professors in relaxed settings.

Financial Aid

An MBA is a significant investment; however, Hult makes it easy for you to afford your degree. Not only is our program one of the most cost-effective relative to other MBA programs, it is also condensed into one year, which minimizes opportunity costs. We work with you to find the most beneficial funding options to cover your education-related expenses.

Making it easy to afford your MBA

Our one-year program is very cost-effective relative to other MBA programs, since most other programs take two years. Relative to other MBA candidates, Hult students save a year of tuition fees, living expenses, and the opportunity cost of being out of the workforce.

Nonetheless, we understand that financing an MBA can be challenging, particularly for international students. Further, because the course is so intense, it is not possible for students to work in parallel with their studies. We therefore work with you to help you find the most beneficial funding options to cover your education-related costs. These options include scholarships, fellowships, and education loans.

Scholarships

Hult offers a range of merit-based scholarships to reduce the tuition cost burden. These are available to all students regardless of citizenship. To be considered for these scholarships we encourage you to apply early. Decisions on scholarships are made only after an offer of admission has been made.

Fellowships

A limited number of merit-based fellowships are available to accepted students. These fellowships offer students the opportunity to work with faculty and staff members at Hult International Business School for approximately eight hours per week. The number of fellowships varies from year to year and from campus to campus.

The fellowships available each year are communicated to students at the time of application. All accepted students may apply for any fellowship position for which they feel qualified.

Education loans

The majority of our students utilize some form of education loan even if they receive a scholarship or fellowship. Students requiring financing for their tuition costs have two main loan options:

Bank loan

Financial institutions in many countries offer education financing specifically to local citizens wishing to pursue an MBA. These loans are typically repayable after completion of the course, although terms vary widely. We are happy to work with our students to help them identify suitable financial institutions to apply for these loans.

Erika loan

Hult has established a partnership with Erika Finance, a Hong Kong financial institution, to offer student loans to international students. These loans offer very competitive interest rates. The loans are typically offered over five years with repayments starting six months after graduation.



Payment Terms & Deadlines• An application fee of USD150 is payable at the time of the

application submission.• A non-refundable deposit of USD3,000 (Boston, San Francisco,

and Dubai campuses)/GBP1,800 (London campus), which contributes towards the tuition price, is payable within 14 days of acceptance onto the program, and will hold the student’s place.

• 50% of the annual tuition fee (less deposit) is payable 60 days before the start of class.

• The remaining balance of the annual tuition fee is payable 30 days before the start of class.

• Students have the option of paying via an installment plan. A fee of USD1,200 (Boston, San Francisco, Dubai) or GBP750 (London) will be charged for all students choosing this option.

• The school reserves the right to assess a late payment surcharge of 2% per month on all outstanding accounts.

Student Travel (Health, Interruption, Baggage, Property) Insurance by ErikaErika Travel Insurance is a comprehensive student insurance policydesigned for students attending Hult outside of Boston or San Francisco, U.S. The insurance is designed to provide international students and their families with peace of mind throughout their studies at Hult. Students attending Hult, outside of Boston or San Francisco, U.S., will be invoiced and charged USD1000/GBP600 unless they demonstrate alternative insurance coverage.The key advantages of Erika Travel Insurance:• If a student needs to interrupt his/her program due to illness, a

Admissions PolicyThe 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. Substantial business experience and satisfactory GMAT score 2. Undergraduate degree 3. Undergraduate transcript 4. Letters of reference 5. English language proficiency

Primary Personal Factors 1. National origin, ethnicity, gender (to ensure diversity) 2. Career goals 3. Entrepreneurial skills 4. Evidence of

• Leadership • Professional promise • Motivation and drive • Overcoming adversity, including disabilities

Secondary Personal Factors 1. Professional certifications 2. Honors and awards 3. Publications 4. Membership in professional or business associations 5. Community or national service 6. Extracurricular activities

The above factors are not exhaustive. They may be weighed differently. They may not, however, be subsumed to a standard formula or ranking. They should be considered in conjunction with all other admissions criteria and factors, in light of the school’s mission and purpose.

Financial Aid PolicyThe 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 • Professional promise • Motivation and drive • Overcoming adversity, including disabilities

The above criteria are not exhaustive. They may be weighed differently. They may not, however, be reduced to a standard formula or ranking. They should be considered in light of the school’s admissions criteria, its mission and purpose, and U.S. Equal Opportunity laws.

Withdrawal PolicyA student may withdraw from the MBA 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, 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. In addition to providing written notice to the Registrar, all students must meet with the Academic Dean prior to withdrawing.

Global Rotation ProgramThe Global Rotation Program is subject to capacity constraints and will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Students must be in good academic standing and be up-to-date on tuition payments to participate in this program. A deposit of USD500 or equivalent is required to secure each rotation.

Refund PolicyIn general, 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 MBA 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 MBA 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 and C Student Activity & IT Services Fees Hult Case Study Packs First day of Module A Tuition for Module B and C 2/3 Student Activity & IT Services Fees 2/3 Hult Case Study Packs First day of Module B Tuition for Module C 1/3 Student Activity & IT Services Fees 1/3 Hult Case Study Packs

First day of Module C No refund will be due 2. In the case of a student who receives financial aid from Hult in the

form of a scholarship and/or fellowship, the amount of any credit refund will be net of such aid, prorated over three modules as follows:

Withdrawals before: Credit refund will be net of: First day of Module A 100% total financial aid received First day of Module B 66% total financial aid received First day of Module C 33% total financial aid received

Grading Procedure1. 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 AverageA 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 Requirements1. Basic Requirements

Participants must complete 57 credit hours of course work to be eligible for the MBA Degree. Course credit is awarded for achieving a grade better than “F” on a course. All courses in Module A or B as well as the five skills track courses must be completed with a grade better than “F.” 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 grade better than “F.” Those who satisfy all program requirements (include: 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 MBA degree. Degrees are recommended by the Academic Dean to the Faculty and the Board of Trustees and awarded by vote of the Faculty and the Board.

2. Dean’s ListParticipants 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 Academic Dean.

Dismissal from the ProgramThe 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 Academic 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.

• Official results of the TOEFL must be sent directly from the Educational Testing Service (ETS). We will not accept institutional TOEFL results (i.e., those given by language training programs, institutions, or other colleges). Your reported TOEFL score must be less than one year old to be considered valid. Information and registration forms are available from TOEFL Program, Educational Testing Service, Rosedale Road, Princeton, New Jersey 08541 U.S. or visit www.toefl.org. Our institutional reporting code is 3015. The department code is 02. Please remember that only official results will be accepted; photocopies or faxes are not sufficient to complete a Hult application.
