YOUR CURRICULUM
Business core
During the first half of the year, you’ll study fundamental
business knowledge relevant to today’s rapidly changing
landscape. Professors with years of industry experience will bring
the subject to life in interactive classes, and students from all over
the world—all with different professional backgrounds—will
give you a fresh, global perspective on the issues raised.
Immersion Accounting Organizational Behavior
Immersion is a combination of learning
academic fundamentals, leadership
development, building new relationships,
and forging a sense of community, all
while orienting yourself with the city and
campus. Through the use of dynamic
simulations, team-building activities,
case studies, role-plays, and lectures,
you’ll develop a growth mindset and
learn what we describe as “The Hult
DNA”—the competencies and skills that
the marketplace values most highly for
trained business professionals. This will
give you an engaging start to the year
that will set a firm foundation for your
future growth. Examine the framework of accounting
principles emphasizing revenue and
expense recognition, valuation of assets
and liabilities, financial statement analysis,
management communication, and the
use of accounting to measure, analyze,
and report economic events for internal
organizational purposes. Explore the psychological and
sociological foundations of individual
and group behavior in organizations
so that you can improve your ability to
motivate others, make decisions, design
organizations, and navigate national and
corporate cultures, with a special focus
on multicultural business contexts.
“Knowledge and skills
are integrated into one
very intensive year that
transforms you from
top to bottom.”
