Hult International Business School Inc. is an independent not-for-profit institution affiliated with the EF Education First Group.

A Long History of Excellence

1964 Arthur D. Little Inc., the world’s oldest management consulting firm, establishes its School of Management. Modeled after top business programs, the school attracts some of the world’s most successful business leaders.

1965 Swedish entrepreneur Bertil Hult founds EF Education First, today the world’s largest privately held education organization, with 34,000 staff and teachers and 400 schools and offices in more than 50 countries.

1976 The business school is officially accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC), the regional accrediting body for all academic institutions in the northeastern U.S.

1998 Forbes identifies our Action Learning curriculum as “highly distinctive”, ranking it in the top five MBA programs in the U.S.

2002 The Economist ranks the school the third best business school in Massachusetts, after Harvard Business School and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

2003 The school is renamed Hult International Business School, honoring benefactor Bertil Hult’s personal vision and commitment to educating international business leaders. The school moves to its own dedicated facility near downtown Boston.

2005 Hult earns accreditation of the Association of MBAs (AMBA), making Hult the first business school in the U.S. to be recognized by this prestigious international accrediting body.

2007 Hult launches an elective module at its study abroad campus in Shanghai as a key component of the Hult global experience.

2008 Hult welcomes the first class of students to the MBA program in Dubai. Hult is the first U.S. academic institute to be licensed in the U.A.E.

2009 The Financial Times adds Hult International Business School to its prestigious Top 100 Global MBA rankings. Hult’s London campus welcomes undergraduates and graduates.

Present The business school expands its portfolio of Master degrees to include a Master of International Business, Master of Finance, and Master of Digital Marketing. Hult opens its fifth campus in San Francisco.

The Economist (2010) ranked Hult International Business School in the top 20 business schools in the U.S. and top 30 in the world. Hult currently ranks in the Financial Times’ top 100 business schools in the world and #6 in International Business.

Hult is ranked in the top 20 business schools in the U.S. and top 30 in the world by The Economist (2010), and currently ranks in the Financial Times’ top 100 business schools in the world. This ranking recognizes our uniquely international focus, the quality of our program and faculty, and our exceptional student body and alumni network.

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 Master degree in Boston, San Francisco, London, Dubai, or Shanghai (please note that the Shanghai campus is available for Master of International Business only). No matter which home campus you choose, you will receive the same fully accredited education of identical quality, using an identical curriculum. Students will spend nine months at their home campus (Boston, San Francisco, London, Dubai, or Shanghai) 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.

Hult’s LEAP Method gives you board-level exposure to leading companies

Hult is the pioneer in action learning, integrating classroom teaching with real-life situations. Our curriculum is based on three components: “Learn”, “Experience”, and “Action Project”—Hult’s LEAP Method. This means 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 then put to the test through case studies of actual business problems and business simulations. An integral part of our LEAP Method is the Action 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 top 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. The breadth of experience, insight, and cultural perspectives that our students bring to the classroom creates an extraordinary learning experience.

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

Top-ranked Business SchoolOur 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. For example, Professor Patrick Courtin, who teaches Negotiations, has been the CEO of several successful high-tech companies and serves on the board of major enterprises; Dr. Hitendra Patel, chairman of Hult’s Innovation and Growth Action Learning Program, has worked at Motorola and Monitor Group, and founded venture-backed companies and registered six patents. 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. substantial portion of our faculty are practitioners and are actively engaged as directors of corporations, consultants, or managers of growth companies.

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 industry and governments manage change induced by technological, economic, and social forces. Today, Arthur D. Little Inc. is part of an international network of more than 18,000 professionals in over 30 countries around the world.

“There are few schools that truly offer a global business education today. Hult offered me a curriculum focused on immediate practical application while teaching me about doing business in different cultural settings. The school’s highly international student body, campuses in today’s economic hotspots, and faculty comprised of accomplished practitioners rather than academics helped get me ready for a career in international business. In just one year I received the kind of hands-on, real-world education one usually only gets after years at a multinational company.”

Kay Witte Knauf Group (Germany)Germany, Class of 2008

Why do graduates often struggle initially?

The major complaint from employers regarding recent graduates is their inability to put the theory they have learned in the classroom into practice. Employers say that they need to often provide significant additional training to help new hires become effective executives. This concern is unsurprising when you consider that most business schools don’t offer their students the opportunity to practice the techniques they have studied before they graduate. This is counterintuitive, since everyone instinctively understands that you only learn by doing. You cannot learn business in a classroom, just as you cannot master golf by reading a book.

Hult’s innovative curriculum has been forged by the demands of employers and realities of business

Hult International Business School, born from the world’s first management consulting firm Arthur D. Little Inc. over 40 years ago, has always had a different take on standard business education practices. The school pioneered the concept of “Action Learning”, requiring all Hult students to undertake a consulting project with a real company as part of their graduation requirements. We have methodically improved this approach to where it is today—something we call the Hult LEAP Method: Learn, Experience, Action Project.

Learn from faculty who have real business experience

Unlike other business schools that are research-oriented, Hult’s talented pool of teaching faculty are academics who have significant business experience. Over 80 percent of our faculty have had real-world business experience, working for companies like Procter & Gamble, Motorola, Credit Suisse, and Monitor Group. Others have started successful ventures themselves. This wealth of knowledge and practical business experience is an essential component of the Hult LEAP method, since it helps ensure all facets are seamlessly integrated to provide an exceptional educational experience.

Hult’s LEAP Method

The Hult LEAP Method is a hands-on approach to learning that is at the heart of our curriculum, culminating in a presentation to the management of a leading company. No other business school offers such an invaluable opportunity to put classroom theory into practice.

What is LEAP and how does it work?

We believe that no other curriculum graduates significantly better business leaders than Hult. Such a program is very difficult to execute, requiring a new level of integration between traditional faculty, career services, and corporate executives. Hult has developed this program by carefully refining the action learning component based on the feedback of both participating companies and students. Our curriculum is divided into three distinct stages:

Students start by learning theory and business

fundamentals in the classroom. Like most top business schools, Hult faculty extensively employs the case study methodology to help students understand the theory in the context of a business problem. Professors encourage thought-provoking debate, giving students the chance to benefit from the wealth of experience and perspectives that diverse classmates bring. However, unlike other top business schools this is not where the learning stops.

Through discussions with industry experts and

company visits, the practical realities of executing the classroom theory are brought to life. Meaningful dialogue with active business leaders helps students appreciate how real-world executives make decisions in a fast-moving, competitive environment with imperfect information. For example, a senior executive of Real Madrid Football Club explains the economics of running one of the world’s largest sports franchises, while the co-founder of Apple discusses how to maintain innovation in a corporate environment.

Participate in a real-world project for a major

company. With a small team of classmates and a faculty advisor, students will compete against other teams to develop a growth plan for a leading company. Over a period of six weeks, each team will work with the company to develop an idea and business case. Then, you will present your recommendations to an executive or manager of that company.

Boston, United States

Global Campus Rotation

Live and study 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 Hult students with a unique opportunity to experience firsthand the emerging markets of the Middle East or China, or to develop a broad network of corporate contacts across multiple continents. Once you start your Master program 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.

A seamless experience, from Hult to Hult Our Global Campus Rotation is fully integrated into our Master curricula. 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. This means that 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. Our global campus network ensures that your educational experience is uninterrupted and hassle-free.

Bringing the study of international business to life Learn about Islamic finance on our Dubai campus, and then enjoy a fascinating discussion with the leading bankers of the region. Or discuss a case study on our Shanghai campus about the manufacturing industry and then go on a factory tour of the world’s largest textile factory the next day. Nothing can replace the experience of really getting an on-the-ground understanding of what is happening in different parts of the world.

Expand your international network Mingle with classmates from other campuses during your Global Campus Rotation. Build valuable contacts as you study alongside new faces and learn from different faculty on our campuses. The Career Services and Student Services teams on each campus will ensure that you have many opportunities to network with your peers and industry professionals alike.

Details about Global Campus Rotation:

•Global Campus Rotation takes place during Module C or D. Around 50 percent of our students participate on a rotation, while the rest remain on their home campus for the entire Master program.

•Global Campus Rotation is optional, but you must decide if you would like to participate during elective course registration which occurs by mid-Module B.

•Global Campus Rotation option is included in your tuition but a deposit is required. Airfare, visas, and accommodation are not included.

•It is not guaranteed that all campuses will be open to rotation for students across all Master programs. For each program, rotation to a specific campus will only be offered if sufficient students from that program wish to study at that campus. This will be determined after the course registration in Module B.

•Student Services provides resources for travel, accommodation, and visa arrangements during Rotation.

•In order to participate in the Rotation, you must be in good academic standing (GPA of 2.67 or above).

•Global Campus Rotation is subject to each campus’s capacity. If demand exceeds capacity, a lottery will be used to ascertain attendance.

•You may choose to graduate from your home campus or from the campus you rotate to during Module D.

A variety of fun activities to do in Boston

Take a stroll through Boston Common, the oldest park in the country; hop on a swan boat at the Public Garden; explore the John F. Kennedy library; enjoy a great meal at one of the many restaurants that make up Boston’s “foodie” culture. Our campus is just a short walk away from the three-mile park that runs along the Charles River, the Esplanade—home to Boston’s Independence Day fireworks celebration, free summer concerts, playgrounds, tennis courts, soccer fields, and beautiful paths for walking, biking, or running.

Explore the East Coast

As one of New England’s most well-connected cities, Boston is a fantastic base from which to explore the northeastern U.S. New York City is a four-hour drive away, and Washington D.C. is an easy commute by plane or train.

An international perspective is crucial to understanding today’s business issues. Hult’s Global Rotation Program allows MIB students to gain critical insights into the world’s key economies and firsthand international business experience.

Master of Digital Marketing

Digital marketing is about how we communicate using digital media and how companies can use these channels to promote their products effectively. Hult’s Master of Digital Marketing covers every aspect of digital marketing.

Jump start your career straight from university

Marketing has changed for good. Digital media now plays a vital role in most advertising campaigns and digital marketing has already become a massive USD55 billion global industry. In many markets, online advertising expenditure has already overtaken television expenditure and is set to triple in size over the next five years. As a result, all marketers must have an in-depth understanding of digital techniques. Those who do so will find themselves in great demand; those who don’t will be forever playing catch-up. Hult is one of the first business schools in the world to offer a Master of Digital Marketing degree to equip students with the strategic business and marketing skills necessary to thrive in today’s digital age.

Be at the forefront of innovative thinking and practice

Technology and the Internet have dramatically changed the way that businesses interact, market, and sell to customers. The rapid replacement of traditional media by social networking sites, websites, blogs, and video sharing sites has created an urgent demand for professionals who can think innovatively about how to capitalize and capture the opportunities of an enormous audience through digital channels. Our Master program puts you on the fast-track to understanding the industry and gaining the skills needed to secure jobs with leading brands or agencies around the world.

A highly relevant education in both business and digital marketing

Hult’s Master of Digital Marketing has been designed in collaboration with the leading provider of best practice and education for the digital sector, Econsultancy. During a single year, students will gain core skills in finance, accounting, strategy, general management, as well as Internet marketing, web analytics, and search engine optimization. Master-level knowledge in both business and digital marketing provides a platform for a diverse and exciting range of career opportunities.

Our Master of Digital Marketing goes global

You can enroll in our Master of Digital Marketing on any of Hult’s main campuses—Boston, San Francisco, London, or Dubai. No matter where you choose to study, this program enables you to harness new technologies, optimize trends, and think creatively about digital marketing communications.

Learn from industry practitioners

Hult is one of the world’s leading business schools and is focused on providing its students with a practical business education. Hult’s partner, Econsultancy, has taught digital marketing to many of the world’s leading companies including Microsoft, Google, McCann-Erickson, Turner Broadcasting, CNN, HBO, and GE. The entire faculty has outstanding academic credentials combined with in-depth practical experience. As a result, you will not only learn the academic theory behind digital, but you will also get hands-on exposure to the tools and understand the real-world practice that employers value so highly.

The key to a promising career

Our program equips you with the knowledge and practical skills needed to become the digital marketing “whiz” in any organization. Graduates will be able to manage online campaigns and can expect to work for employers such as advertising agencies (e.g. BBDO, DDB, TBWA, and WPP) advising clients on their digital marketing strategies; retail and fast moving consumer goods companies (e.g. Tesco, John Lewis, and Procter & Gamble) that increasingly market their products and services online; or technology companies (e.g. Google and Microsoft) that are shaping the digital marketing arena.

Action Project provides hands-on experience

Conduct a groundbreaking study on blogging or devise an e-marketing strategy for a real-world company; Hult’s Action Projects allow you to gain practical business and digital marketing skills while helping actual businesses address issues around innovation and growth. During the elective module of the Master program, students form small teams led by a faculty advisor to research real-life business cases and propose strategically sound and practical solutions.

Selected from a wide range of industries as well as nationalities, our student body is a talented and diverse group. At Hult you learn as much from your classmates as from your professors.

There is no typical Hult student

Our students bring with them many different interests and areas of functional expertise—from media to marketing, finance to technology, engineering to consulting. The various skills and perspectives of each student enrich the Hult learning experience. Whether you are learning about business etiquette in Japan or negotiating tactics in Latin America, your classmates will add an essential element of diversity to your Master degree program. You will soon discover for yourself that there is no typical Hult student.

Diverse learning environment

Our school’s small size gives students the opportunity to really get to know their classmates and their professors and to develop lasting relationships. Within the first few days, you will quickly meet each person in your class. When you walk into Hult, you will immediately sense the culture of personal attention and teamwork. Despite the competitiveness and focus required to complete a Master in one year, our students often remark on how comfortable they feel during the program and how supportive the school is of their needs. This fellowship extends beyond the classroom, as students meet informally to discover their new surroundings. These kinds of experiences cement friendships and create unforgettable memories.

Hult is ranked in the top 20 business schools in the U.S. and top 30 in the world by The Economist. Hult is also ranked in the Financial Times’ Top 100 Global Business School list.

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. Satisfactory GMAT/GRE score required for MFIN, preferred though not required for MIB2. 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•Professionalpromise•Motivationanddrive•Overcomingadversity,includingdisabilities

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•Professionalpromise•Motivationanddrive•Overcomingadversity,includingdisabilities

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 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, 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 constraintsGlobal Rotation ProgramThe 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. A deposit of USD500/GBP330 or equivalent is required to secure each rotation (if students wish to rotate in Module C and Module D they will be required to pay two deposits at USD500/GBP330 each). This deposit is refundable upon participation in the rotation.

ElectivesElectives 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.

iPadsHult’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 PolicyThe 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 and C Student Resources and Activities Hult Case Study Packs First day of Module A Tuition for Module B and C 2/3 Student Resources and Activities 2/3 Hult Case Study Packs First day of Module B Tuition for Module C 1/3 Student Resources and Activities 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 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 Requirements1. Basic Requirements MIB candidates must complete 37 credits of course work to

be eligible for the MIB degree. Other Master candidates must complete 36 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 or B 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 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 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.
