Little School of Management (ADL). ADL focused on delivering a practical business education for managers. The teaching pedagogy was different because it emphasized Action Learning applying classroom theory in the real world. This methodology has been honed over the past 40 years and is central to Hult s pioneering approach to practical business education today The world s most international business school In 2003, one of Europe s most successful entrepreneurs, Bertil Hult, provided critical financial support to expand the school s innovative teaching methodology, to go beyond simply training students to become effective managers by also preparing them to thrive on a global stage. Believing that students must experience cultural differences and international business practices firsthand, Mr. Hult grew the school from its single Boston location to a global network of home campuses including San Francisco, London, Dubai, and Shanghai and a rotation center in New York, under the name Hult International Business School. Today The world s largest ranked graduate business school Hult s compelling vision of a practical and global business education has attracted students from around the world.

Hult s curriculum combines hard skills with lessons in decision-making and strategy Hult s MIB curriculum delivers an understanding of today s global marketplace. Initially, students focus on learning hard skills in international finance, marketing, operations, and strategy.

6 ONE-YEAR MBA CURRICULUM 1 Hult s pioneering one-year MBA program continues to break new ground in the field of business education by offering a hands-on program that ensures graduates are job-ready from day one. Our first significant innovation was to go global offering students the option to study at five Hult campuses across the world. The latest major development was in 2012 when the Hult Labs research group interviewed hundreds of CEOs, senior executives, and hiring managers of companies around the world to find out their views on traditional business education and the skills they were looking for in graduates. Reinventing the MBA curriculum to include soft skills Our research showed that employers feel that hard skills such as accounting, marketing, finance, and strategy are only one part of the equation they are looking to hire MBA graduates who also have soft skills. These are people who can connect the dots and actually make things happen. In response to these findings, Hult has created the first ever MBA curriculum to ensure that every graduate of the program has the key competencies necessary to get the job done in the real world.
