Hult International Business School 2

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.

Hult’s unique heritage Formerly known as the Arthur D. Little School of

Management, Hult International Business School is the world’s only truly global

business school and has been at the forefront of educating global business leaders

since 1964. In a world that is increasingly interconnected, it is the people who can

transcend nationality and culture who will thrive in the international business world.

We specialize in training global business leaders. At Hult, you will find some of the

finest academic minds and one of the most diverse student bodies. We are dedicated

to breaking down barriers of geography, language, and culture.

Accelerate your career Recognized as a valuable professional credential, a Hult

Master degree is the quintessential career booster and an increasingly popular

choice for people who want to accelerate their careers. Enhancing your skills and

experience by pursuing a Master degree, you will gain theoretical as well as real-

world experience. Our Master degrees in International Business, Finance, and Digital

Marketing offer a level of education that is considered the equivalent of two to three

years of work experience.

Get plugged into the world Our students have the opportunity to experience the

world firsthand. With our Global Rotation Program, Hult students can choose to study

in Boston, San Francisco, London, Dubai, or Shanghai. It is clear that success in

business is no longer confined to one location. That is why we help our students get

plugged into the world.

I look forward to personally welcoming you to Hult.

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. This ranking recognizes our uniquely

ranking. Hult International Business School is

a fully accredited member of the New England

chosen career.

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.”

most prestigious business school competition,

offering a USD1 million prize.

Spearheaded by the Hult Consulting Club, the

event is run simultaneously across all of the

Hult campuses, and brings together teams from

the top-business schools on the planet. These

teams tackle a case challenge set in conjunction

with a leading charity. In keeping with the

School’s focus on practical education, the

USD1 million prize money is donated to the

charity to help roll-out the winning idea.

from Hult, Harvard, Massachusetts Institute of

Technology (MIT), Stanford, Oxford, Cambridge,

Imperial, INSEAD, Columbia, and other

renowned programs present their strategies to

help One Laptop per Child redefine the way the

poorest children in the world learn. This annual

competition is a fantastic showcase for Hult

student talent, as well as providing a platform for

business school students to meaningfully address

a major social problem.

Hult’s Global Case Challenge revolutionizes the business of giving by awarding USD1 million to charity in international student competition

Last year’s sponsors included:

“The Global Case Challenge unites and inspires the best and brightest minds to develop viable technological solutions to the education issues that plague our society. Microsoft is proud to collaborate with the Hult International Business School and others in hosting competitive events like this that drive business students to be responsible strategists for the global greater good.”

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.

An international perspective is crucial to understanding

today’s business issues. Hult offers Master students an

extraordinary opportunity to take electives on any one of

our campuses in Boston, San Francisco, London, Dubai,

or Shanghai.

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.

Master of International Business

Hult’s Master of International Business program helps to

launch students’ careers immediately after undergraduate

studies with a one-year, intensive business education,

offered at Hult’s global locations—Boston, San Francisco,

London, Dubai, and Shanghai.

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 in launching

their careers. This degree is particularly well

suited for recent university graduates (business

and non-business majors) who do not have

extensive work experience. This degree is also

appropriate for people who have some limited

work experience but seek to move into the

international business realm.

A seamless path to a rewarding future

Hult’s Master of International Business (MIB)

is taught by the same faculty and follows an

abbreviated version of Hult’s top-ranked 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 19 credits,

with no re-application requirements.

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 the 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 Rotation Program

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. You can opt to pursue your Master

of International Business in Boston, San

Francisco, London, Dubai, or Shanghai. During

the elective module, students can choose to

remain at their home campus or study at a

different Hult campus.

Action Projects give you great exposure

Gain valuable professional experience to

complement your classroom knowledge, expand

your industry contacts, and get in front of

executives and managers. Our Action Project

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.

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 successfully capitalize and capture

the opportunities of an enormous audience

through digital channels. Hult’s Digital Marketing

Diploma programs put you on the fast-track

to understanding the industry and gaining the

skills needed to secure exciting marketing roles

with leading brands and agencies around the

world. Study with our Master in Digital Marketing

diverse group. At Hult you learn as much from

your classmates as from your professors.

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.

Economist. Hult is also ranked in the Financial

Times’ Top 100 Global Business School

list. These rankings recognize our unique

international focus, the quality of the program

and the faculty, and the exceptional student body

and alumni network. Hult is a fully accredited

member of the New England Association of

Schools and Colleges (NEASC) and is also

accredited by the Association of MBAs (AMBA).

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 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.

One global MBA, fi ve locations

Hult’s Global Rotation Program 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, using

the same intensive curriculum. Students will

spend nine months at their home campus

for the core courses, and can then choose to

take their elective courses on one of Hult’s

other campuses.

Expert Career Services network

With offices in the U.S., Europe, the Middle East,

and Asia, Hult is uniquely positioned to help our

international students find global employment

opportunities. Hult’s Career Services team

maintains corporate connections around the

world and actively cultivates employer contacts

for all students.

A truly international student body

Hult’s students are internationally experienced

professionals with an average age of 30

and an average of seven years’ work experience.

The breadth of experience, insight, and

cultural perspectives that Hult students bring

to the classroom creates an extraordinary

learning experience.

Faculty with real-world experience

The Hult faculty has outstanding academic

credentials combined with real-life experience

running and managing successful businesses.

Hult professors are seasoned professionals with

expertise teaching international managers—80

percent have extensive international experience

and many are citizens of countries other than

the U.S.

Admissions Policy

The admissions policy of the Hult International Business School is

intended to assess how an applicant might contribute to and benefi t

from an intensive graduate business education in a culturally diverse

institutional environment. It refl ects 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 MIB

2. Undergraduate degree

3. Undergraduate transcript

4. Letters of reference

5. English language profi ciency

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 certifi cations

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 Policy

The Hult fi nancial 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 fi nancial assistance to qualifi ed 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 fi nancial 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 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, 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. 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.

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.

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

fi ve-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 fi rst 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 fi rst 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 fi nancial 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 fi nancial aid received

First day of Module B 66% total fi nancial aid received

First day of Module C 33% total fi nancial aid received

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 offi cial fi nal 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 fi gures,

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

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 fi nancial 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 fi nal

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 notifi cation

from the Dean with appropriate recording in the participant’s

permanent academic fi le. 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 notifi ed.
