The Business School
At Hult, we believe that education is about so much more than a degree. It’s about transformation. Students want skills that will transform their lives. Employers want graduates that will transform their businesses. Society wants businesses that will transform the world. Like all change, it starts with action.
By focusing on what our students can do in the real world, rather than just the theory they study in classrooms, we prioritize those skills and mindsets that are most needed to bring about change—in the careers of the individual, the businesses they work in, and the society we all live in. This belief in the power of learning by doing goes beyond a philosophy; it is the guiding force behind every program we provide, every course we create, every class we run. It’s what makes Hult the business school for those made to do.
We learn through challenge
We learn to do and do to learn, individually and in teams. Our students continually practice what they’ll be doing in the workplace so they build a skillset that enables them to take on any challenge they may face after graduation. Our focus on applied learning equips Hult graduates with the knowledge and skills that employers want and entrepreneurs need to thrive in today’s workplace. We not only increase the practical ability of our community, but also their confidence, agility, and employability. It's their fearlessness in the face of challenges, combined with their natural curiosity, and global mindset—that makes our graduates so in demand with employers all over the world.
We are truly global
Succeeding in international business takes cross-cultural understanding. Immersed in a community of 150 nationalities across a global campus network, Hult students don’t just thrive in an international environment, they learn how to leverage diversity to get results. We specialize in helping international students forge international careers. They build a global network by collaborating with classmates from around the world—potential partners, investors, and contacts are everywhere. Here, global means more than geography, it's a shared experience where we—students, alumni, faculty, and staff—are all enriched by each other’s perspectives.
We grow ourselves and others
Our community of lifelong learners embodies curiosity, optimism, and a growth mindset. We aim to help students be the best version of themselves and become resilient, self-aware individuals who lead with integrity, equity, and authenticity. So that they continue to improve not only their own lives but also care beyond themselves to positively impact the business community and build a better world for all. We support our graduates for the entirety of their careers. Whether their goals change, or their industry does, our lifelong learning options enable Hult grads to come back to campus every year for the rest of their careers in order to stay up-to-date and relevant—always.

One elective a year, on us
Most careers span decades and critical skills can change as you progress in seniority. The rapid pace of change also means future critical business knowledge might have simply been impossible to learn during your program.

There’s a small registration fee, but the course is otherwise free of charge.
