PRACTICAL APPLICATION-FOCUSED CURRICULUM

Hult’s Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) is designed around the widely-agreed upon truth that to master a skill—any skill—it must be practiced. Practical learning challenges are integrated into the entire program, ensuring students understand the relevant theory while developing the mindsets and skills essential for a career.

Through live client consulting, hackathons, business simulations, and complex team projects, students apply contemporary theory to creatively solve the challenges businesses are facing right now.

Each year of the degree, students can choose to study at one or many of Hult’s campuses in central Boston or London, with optional Summer Programs in Boston, London, San Francisco, and Dubai. Students study alongside others of over 150 nationalities across campuses and gain international experience and differentiate themselves as global professionals.

Hult students are assessed throughout the BBA program on the essential mindsets and skills that make an exceptional businessperson—and what matters most to employers. Each student has a personal career and development coach that will work with them to evaluate their skills, better understand their strengths and weaknesses, and help to connect all of their learnings with future career goals. 

FOUR UNIQUE CAMPUSES

Hult offers its curriculum across four different campuses. London and Boston are the home campuses, with Dubai and San Francisco being summer rotation campuses. The benefits of having such an expansive presence is two-fold: On one hand, students can gain a truly global perspective in their education. Hult is home to students from 150 nationalities, with no more than 8% of students from any one nationality. 

“The business program was very open and diverse,” one alumni said. “We had professors and students from many different areas of the world. This opened my eyes to many different perspectives.”

On the other hand, a global presence makes the Hult degree valuable and recognized. Hult students can graduate with both a U.S. and U.K. degree and the B-school is the only U.S. school to be accredited by the three most prestigious accrediting bodies: AACSB, EQIUS, and AMBA.

The practical application of Hult’s curriculum and its unique global rotational opportunities are the aspects that make a Hult degree one worth pursuing. 

ALUMNI SAY

“I did a capstone project, experiential learning and external consulting projects. All of these 3 were so important for learning experience. Some of them were consulting projects for tech companies based in San Francisco, CA. It helped us understand their industries they work on, the process of ideation of products and services, and how to efficiently market them. It also served as a prior work experience and gave us a chance to see how startups and big companies function.” 

“The Hult Business Challenge as my capstone project was hugely beneficial to work on a real-life client case and put a solid solution forward throughout several weeks.”

“I did Summer Courses in Dubai, NY and Singapur what was the best experience getting to know the culture and more people. I also organised a trip to Switzerland with Hult Founders Lab what was a great opportunity.”

“Going to Hult is a global immersion. Students are from all around the world which makes classes even more special. Also, I studied in London and San Francisco which enriched my global experience at Hult.”

“Enjoyed my time there they were very supportive. I have learning difficulties and they were very helpful with that too. The learning was great lots of practical learning which helped a lot in business and tackling people and problems.”

“Studying at Hult was the best decision I could have made at 17. It provided me with invaluable growth, both personally and professionally, in a truly international environment. My time there transformed my mindset, setting me up for a fulfilling career. I am immensely grateful for the years I spent at Hult.”
