Hult’s unique
Global Rotation
Today’s global economy rewards
people who can traverse borders,
understand cultures, and operate
in international contexts. Hult
offers you an amazing chance
to see the world while you
study alongside peers of 140
nationalities who collectively
speak 105 languages. As part
of the Global Rotation Program,
you can pick your home campus
and then spend up to three
months studying at two others.
Begin your degree program in
Boston, then travel to Shanghai
via San Francisco, or Dubai via
London or New York. You’ll get an
inside look at the world’s fastestgrowing economies and examine
international business practices
close up. (See p. 14)
The first MBA curriculum
designed with input from
business leaders
Proprietary research conducted
by Hult Labs shows that
traditional MBA programs aren’t
providing students with the skills
that elite employers want. Senior
executives at companies like
Accenture, IBM, and Unilever
have told us that today’s MBA
graduates lack both soft skills
and practical experience. Hult has
completely redesigned its MBA
curriculum in conjunction with
top CEOs and HR executives to
ensure that all our MBA students
graduate with these essential
capabilities, as well as knowledge
of the core business areas of
finance, marketing, and strategy.
A unique focus on soft
skills: Going beyond
spreadsheets and
case studies
Great leaders are made, not born.
Hult’s curriculum is designed to
prepare you for today’s complex
and rapidly changing business
environment. At the beginning of
the year, Hult MBAs are evaluated
on their innate strengths and
weaknesses. Then through
a unique blend of classroom
instruction, targeted practice, and
constructive feedback, students
acquire the essential soft skills
they need—from public speaking
to decision-making in volatile
situations—to transform them into
genuine leaders. By the end of our
12-month program, graduates
have what it takes to thrive in
today’s business world.
The Hult Impact Challenge—
the ultimate practical
learning experience
Throughout the year, you will
work on a team project known
as the Hult Impact Challenge.
You and your teammates may
propose a new business startup, work in conjunction with
an existing company to solve
a business problem, or help an
NGO address a social issue. At
