We bring our graduate approach to the undergraduate experience. Hult attracts an extraordinarily diverse student body who hail from all corners of the globe. 1964—A practical business education In 1964, the school was established as America’s first corporate university, then known as the Arthur D. 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 for over 50 years and is central to Hult’s pioneering approach to practical business education today. 2003—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. 6 Bringing the graduate experience to undergraduate Today, Hult is the world’s largest ranked business school, which shows that the school’s vision of a practical and innovative business education is truly compelling. The undergraduate program at Hult is distinct because it brings a graduate-school approach to the undergraduate experience. In terms of classroom pedagogy, capstone projects, and exposure to real-world challenges, the undergraduate experience delivers the same kind of innovation that has built Hult’s reputation as a top-ranked graduate school. he world’s largest ranked graduate business schools 1 Hult International Business School 2,324 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 IE Business School Northwestern, Kellogg Harvard Business School Copenhagen Business Sch.

W H Y H U LT “Today, success in business is as much about understanding cultures and globalization as it is about understanding finance and marketing. With our exceptional faculty, rigorous curriculum, and unique campus network, Hult International Business School is committed to educating not just leaders of business, but leaders of the world.” Bertil Hult Chairman Emeritus of Hult International Business School Philanthropist and Founder of EF Education First, the world’s leading private education organization 8 Dedicated to the study of international business Rotation between the U.S. and Europe* Terrific downtown locations in London and San Francisco Our reputation as one of the world’s top business schools stems from the fact that we are 100% focused on teaching international business. This means that each of our campuses and our curriculum are specifically tailored to the needs of students who want to explore the global economy. Hult’s top-5 rankings in International Business and International Experience by the Financial Times (2014) reflect our commitment to business education in a global context. Hult is the only business school in the world with full undergraduate programs in both the U.S. and U.K. That means you could spend four years in San Francisco, or four years in London, or any combination between the two. Every year, you have the choice to study at either campus. Whichever campus you study at, you will earn a U.S. degree accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC). Both San Francisco and London Hult campuses offer ultra modern facilities and central city locations. On campus, expect a study environment equipped with state-of-the-art technology and excellent educational amenities. When classes are over for the day, Hult’s prime locations enable you to enjoy all that these world-class yet student-friendly cities have to offer. * Subject to study visa status Unrivaled global perspective Today’s global economy rewards people who can traverse borders, understand cultures, and operate in international contexts. Hult provides you with an unrivaled, intimate global experience, working alongside peers of 140 nationalities who collectively speak 105 languages. At Hult, you’ll learn from a faculty with American, European, and emerging-market expertise. Hult students graduate with the ability to thrive in international business and adapt rapidly to changing global environments. Hands-on business experience Unlike other business schools that are research-oriented, many of Hult’s faculty have real-world experience. Some have worked for companies like P&G, Sony, and Credit Suisse, while others have run their own businesses or created their own patents. Furthermore, Hult helps students develop real-world skills by challenging them to complete very practical capstones, including Action Projects, internships, and the Hult Impact Challenge. Top-ranked business school Hult continues its rapid ascent in business school rankings, currently placed in the top one percent of all business schools. Hult is ranked 34th in the U.S. and 59th in the world by The Economist (2013) and 61st in the world by the Financial Times (2014). Potential to accelerate your studies Hult’s flexible curriculum and academic calendar spanning 12 months give students who would like to graduate quicker the option to complete their degree in 3 years. More than half of our students take advantage of this accelerated path by participating in summer classes. Personalized attention We pride ourselves on delivering effective counseling to each and every student in our undergraduate program on matters ranging from academic choices, to career paths, to student life. This student-centered approach is reflected in our excellent student retention and graduation rates (nearly 90% of the class entering in 2010 graduated in 4 years). Students are given the support needed to succeed. hult.edu 9 BY YOUR SIDE F R O M S TA R T T O F I N I S H Starting an undergraduate degree is a big step and a rite of passage for both students and parents. We’re here to make your transition to this new stage of life as seamless as possible. Pleased to meet you Far from home, but still secure Our considerable experience has helped us craft an introduction process that gets you up and running quickly. During the first two weeks, new students have orientation. The first week is called “Welcome Week” and consists of a series of team-building activities in which you bond with your fellow first-years and get to know your new urban surroundings. During the second week, you participate in workshops to sharpen your study skills. You also meet with your academic advisors, learn about the courses, and register for the Fall Term. London and San Francisco are two of the most exciting cities in the world. For a newcomer who dreams of exploring artistic, historical, and cultural delights, these two cities can feel a bit like the center of the universe. All new students live in dedicated Hult Residences to foster a sense of community and campus life. Our students’ safety and security is something Hult takes very seriously. We are always available to advise you on how to move safely around the city. Our extensive experience with international students means that we can provide everything from medical insurance coverage to visa assistance and general support for students living abroad. At Hult, we know your name We pride ourselves on delivering personalized attention to each and every student in our undergraduate program. Academic advisors guide you throughout the year with sessions to help you select the right courses and chart your career path. Caring professors and attentive staff at Student Services, the Dean’s office, and Career Services have your best interests in mind, and are more than willing to lend their support. 10 Moving away from home to attend an undergraduate program is a big step. Moving to a different country can be even more daunting. Hult has decades of experience accommodating the needs of international students. One big international family There are enough challenges in a student’s life without adding feelings of isolation to the mix. With that in mind, part of our job in hosting a predominantly international student body is to ensure that nobody feels “foreign.” Our relatively small undergraduate class size allows our teachers and staff to get to know each student, which helps you feel more at home in your new surroundings. We happily help students with suggestions, from travel tips to recommending the best food in town. hult.edu 11 Your classmates come from all over the world* YOUR NETWORK JUST WENT GLOBAL Hult gives you an astoundingly diverse network of connections and contacts.

Since I have always been fascinated with different cultures, customs, and languages, Hult stood out with the global experience it gives students, not only reflected in its diverse student body but also its rotation program that allowed me to go to different parts of the world.” “Thanks to the professional connections and lifelong friends I have made at Hult, I am now in a position to view the world from varied perspectives. During my studies, I gained the confidence not only to express my thoughts and ideas, but also to successfully apply for jobs—something that has proved fundamental in securing my current position at WIPO.” Sabreen Daas Jordan and Philippines Bachelor Class of 2014 AnaMaria Meshkurti NGO & Industry Relations, World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Albania, Bachelor Class of 2013 “I had been an international student all my life. The opportunity to come home and still engage in an academic environment with a strong international component was a core reason I chose Hult. The Action Project has been one of the most challenging but rewarding experiences of my life. Hult is the type of place where people can build the foundation to go as far in life as they choose to.” Sean Wells “I spent a lot of time researching undergraduate schools. Studying at an international business school was important to me as I felt I would be able to widen my global perspective and meet people from diverse backgrounds. Hult’s extracurricular activities were a great way for me to meet students and faculty. Today, I work as a Global Risk Analyst at Citi in London.” U.K. and Colombia Bachelor Class of 2015 Haren J. Pagarani Global Risk Analyst, Citi Canada, Bachelor Class of 2013 14 hult.edu 15 TWO CITIES. ONE GLOBAL DEGREE. “ I chose Hult because I see this school as not only a place of education but also a life experience. It truly is the ultimate international experience; I meet and work with people from all over the globe every day. As the world becomes more globalized, it is important in business that we can understand and interact with people from different cultures.” Renee Mari Salamonsen Norway, Bachelor Class of 2015 16 hult.edu 17 Berkeley Berkeley Aquatic Park Angel Island State Park ea SAN FRANCISCO THE EPICENTER OF THE HIGH-TECH WORLD California College of the Arts Pixar Alcatraz Island Fisherman’s Wharf Marina Bay Bridge Telegraph Hill Union Russian C oit Tower Hill Street North Shops Presidio Beach Cable Car Museum Pacific Heights de Young Museum San Francisco is well-known for its diverse, inventive, and creative culture that epitomizes the American dream.

One of two home campuses for Hult undergraduates A culture of independent thinkers and entrepreneurs As a Hult undergraduate, you can choose our home campus in San Francisco to start your Bachelor of Business Administration. During each academic year of your degree program, you can choose to remain in San Francisco or study in our second home campus for undergraduates in central London. Our curriculum is structured such that credits are fully transferable and the transition between home campuses is seamless. This is an ideal way to enjoy the best that the U.S. and the U.K. have to offer and provides a unique way to experience the global classroom. San Francisco’s multiculturalism and strongly open-minded culture have bred a dynamic and entrepreneurial environment that celebrates tolerance and diversity. As a result, the city has been a magnet for independent thinkers and a hotbed of the “new economy” where the dot-com revolution began and where a strong “start-up” culture exists. Small businesses with fewer than 10 employees and self-employed firms make up 85% of the city establishments. A number of famous brands have been born in the city—from Levi’s blue jeans and casual clothing giant Gap Inc. to the hottest social media companies like Twitter. San Francisco is also the primary banking and finance center of the West Coast. Be charmed by San Francisco With fog-capped hills, blue sparkling waters, quaint cable cars, and vibrant neighborhoods, San Francisco possesses the atmosphere of a small town—which it is, at just seven square miles (18km2) and with a population of 800,000. Long considered one of America’s prettiest cities, San Francisco is a compact and walkable city filled with cafés, shops, bookstores, restaurants, museums, and parks. Eco-friendly and full of fashionable, trendy types, it’s no wonder that students from all over the U.S. and the world have flocked to San Francisco to start their lives. 18 Study in the epicenter of the high-tech world San Francisco’s Bay Area (a region surrounding the city that encompasses nine counties) is the epicenter of the world’s high-tech industry. Silicon Valley, just south of the city, is home to an extraordinary array of breakthrough companies including Google, Apple, and eBay. The city’s entrepreneurial culture, breathtaking scenery, and economic clout make it a great place to live and study. hult.edu 19 “I chose Hult because of its international student body and because of the opportunity it offers students to study in multiple countries. One of my most memorable experiences was being able to study on both Hult’s central London campus and then study on Hult’s San Francisco campus during the summer. In San Francisco, I got to meet people with a completely different mindset. Having friends from all over the world, you learn new things every day.” SAN FRANCISCO CAMPUS With Telegraph Hill and Russian Hill within sight, Hult’s ultra modern campus has a superb downtown location in one of America’s most desirable cities.

Each course you take at Hult is worth three credits. Most students take 30 credits per year, consisting of four courses each Fall, four courses each Winter, and two courses each Spring, although Hult’s flexible structure allows you to complete your degree in less time by taking up to 42 credits per year. A Bachelor degree requires the successful completion of at least 120 credits.

These courses cover core business areas and build a firm foundation of knowledge to help students choose a subsequent concentration. Courses in Communication Skills, Liberal Arts, and Global Knowledge provide an unrivaled foundation of learning that ensures each student is a well-rounded graduate. The core of your business degree Hult knows that the students who get the most out of their specialist subjects are those students who have first learned the basics of business thoroughly. As they earn their Bachelor degree, students can see how the functional areas of business fit together, and which ones are most suited to their interests and abilities. By exposing our students to a full range of disciplines, the Business Core curriculum creates a platform from which students can decide their concentration and choose more advanced courses. Business Core courses count for 45 total credits (3 credits each) and include: Year One • Introduction to the Business Environment • Financial Accounting • Microeconomics International experience Hult is ranked by the Financial Times as one of the top 5 business schools in the world for the international experience our students receive—and this experience starts right at the very beginning. In their Business Core classes, students work in teams with people from across the globe, so they must rapidly learn how to communicate forcefully but diplomatically within radically different cultures. After studying in this atmosphere, Hult graduates are better prepared than others to work at multinationals, or to switch careers and continents without missing a beat. • Macroeconomics In their first two years, Hult undergraduates take required Business Core courses in subjects ranging from macroeconomics to marketing. Undergraduates’ growing self-awareness empowers them to choose the electives that are right for them, which can lead them to their concentration. In their final two years, students complete the Business Core by taking four advanced classes that integrate recurring themes in global business. These integrative courses call upon students to think strategically, ethically, and internationally about business models and practices. 34 Ask a CEO of almost any organization, and he or she will tell you that the number one quality they look for when hiring candidates is the ability to communicate effectively. Those who advance to senior management or leadership positions do so less because of their specialized knowledge, and more because they possess outstanding oral and written communication skills. While many business graduates receive no training in these vital skills, students at Hult receive practical skills training in research and writing, group communication, cross-cultural communication, numerical communication, and delivery of effective presentations. The results are impressive: Hult graduates are extremely well-prepared in the “soft skills” of communication that will set them apart in their chosen professional environment and open doors to career advancement. General Education courses count for 42 credits (3 credits each) and include: Year One • Academic English Skills • Quantitative Skills • Introduction to Global Communication • Globalization • History & Society Elective • Arts & Humanities Elective Year Two • Managerial Accounting Liberal Arts • Principles of Entrepreneurship One of the key features of Hult’s undergraduate program is the opportunity it provides students to study a range of topics in the arts and sciences. These required courses give business students a breadth of understanding and create wider contexts for their business studies. They also open doors to future careers in specific sectors or types of organizations. Required Liberal Arts core courses are offered in Years One and Two and include History & Society, Arts & Humanities, Ethics & Philosophy, and Science & Technology. • Principles of Marketing • Principles of Management • Business Statistics Action-packed curriculum Communication Skills • Principles of Finance Year Three & Year Four • Business and the World Economy • Team and Consulting Skills • Business Ethics • Global Strategy • Senior Capstone Year Two • Business Communications • Ethics & Philosophy Elective • Science & Technology Elective • Foreign Language Elective Year Three & Year Four • Regional/Global Knowledge Elective Global Knowledge • Regional/Global Knowledge Elective Global Knowledge courses begin with an introduction to Globalization in Year 1 and culminate with a senior seminar in Global Citizenship in Year 4. In between, students are invited to choose from a menu of courses that build their regional and global knowledge. Each of these interdisciplinary courses expands students’ awareness of a chosen region of the world, or of a global theme. Examples of such courses are ‘Doing Business in the Middle East,’ ‘The Political Economy of the European Union,’ and ‘Development Economics.’ • Regional/Global Knowledge Elective • Global Citizenship hult.edu 35 CURRICULUM CONCENTRATIONS C O N C E N T R AT I O N S Hult undergraduates choose a concentration, which is like a major—the specialized area of business in which you develop the deepest knowledge and expertise. Marketing Marketing professionals are vital not just to organizations but to society as a whole. A concentration in marketing prepares you to communicate with the world. Finance/Accounting Management Entrepreneurship All companies depend on strong financial management. Mastery of accounting and finance is vital to any healthy business. All successful business graduates will sooner or later manage both people and budgets. If they are good managers, their businesses—and their careers—will prosper. Today’s business leaders need entrepreneurial skills more than ever to prosper in our increasingly competitive global environment. Learn about value creation For corporations, finance/accounting is about finding the funding to turn dreams into reality. For investors, it’s about judging which dreams can produce a good return for your money. The continuing credit squeeze following the 2008 financial crisis has forced both corporations and investors to be ever more inventive to meet these goals. The Hult concentration in finance and accounting produces practically minded graduates who understand finance from both sides of the fence: the companies trying to fund their projects and the investment professionals who assess these projects’ potential to create value. 21st-century managers The 21st century demands business leaders who can think big and act big. Students will learn to see an enterprise as a whole, but also to understand the linkages between its different working parts. Additionally, students will develop their managerial soft skills and learn to use motivation and persuasion to create a successful team of colleagues from different countries. Entrepreneurs change the world Entrepreneurship is a mindset, not an activity. The concentration starts with an overview of the lifestyle entrepreneurs experience, the skills they require, and the common errors they need to avoid. Subsequent courses help you assess the market, refine your product or service, test your assumptions, and persuade investors and others to provide the capital and additional resources you need to reduce your risk and maximize your chances for success. Gain inancial skills for the future Finance/accounting is one of the most rapidly changing areas of international business, as leading thinkers and practitioners question old assumptions and come up with new solutions in the wake of the credit crunch. What makes a good investment portfolio in the second decade of the new millennium? And how can companies secure funding when the banking sector is in permanent shake-up mode? Build skills to manage processes and people Building on Hult’s 50-year tradition of educating managers and consultants, the management concentration calls upon students to address timeless questions, and to consider them in their 21st century context. This concentration develops students’ functional knowledge of effective management tools and how best to deploy them. It also draws upon behavioral concepts of effective people management. A constant theme throughout the concentration is how to manage in a globalized, crosscultural environment. Develop your entrepreneurial skills Hult’s entrepreneurship concentration helps you identify, assess, and implement practical ideas successfully. Whether you intend to start a business, help an existing one grow, work with a family firm, solve a global social problem, or work for a larger firm, the skills you’ll learn will be highly relevant. Organizations around the world are increasingly looking to those with entrepreneurial spirit and skills. Learn how to approach the marketplace confidently and independently as you chart your own path to success. Gain concrete understanding of: Gain concrete understanding of: • Financial analysis and reporting—whether you’re reading a balance sheet or costing a new project • The management tools that can be deployed to run the various functions of a company • How to apply marketing concepts to big-picture corporate strategy • The ability to make finely-judged decisions for a company based on financial risks and opportunities • The critical importance of efficient and effective project management in any professional setting • How to present persuasive marketing plans • How the diverse ecosystem of financial instruments and institutions works • The techniques that can be deployed to manage businesses of different sizes through periods of growth, contraction, or restructuring The road to marketing savvy Marketing is driven by the belief that customers, before products or services, are the path to profit. To succeed in the marketplace, a company must first identify and respond to customer needs—and then convince customers that it can meet their needs better than anyone else. Marketing and public relations experts shape popular perception about products, people, and organizations. They need to have a thorough knowledge of the media— including the new world of social networks. After a Hult concentration in marketing, you will have the skills to do anything from launching the latest smartphone to running public relations for a political campaign. Curriculum for a Digital Age The digital revolution has changed the face of marketing forever— destroying boundaries between professional marketers and consumers. The Hult curriculum teaches you how to maximize the marketing magic of microblogs, mobile technology, and social media. Hult was among the first to incorporate digital marketing and the impact of social media and search engine technology into its curriculum. Gain concrete understanding of: Gain concrete understanding of: • The art of digital marketing and other hot trends • The strengths and weaknesses of different marketing tools • How to value investments and build portfolios Core courses in our finance/accounting concentration are accredited by and count towards ACCA accreditation. • The tools and techniques that entrepreneurs use to develop and test their designs • How initial assumptions and ideas require considerable market research, feedback, and redesign across months or years • The presentation and advocacy skills essential to succeed as a manager and leader • The different methods that are required across business models such as start-ups, family businesses, or major corporate enterprises—and when best to deploy these methods Marketing Concentration Courses Include:* Finance Concentration Courses Include:* Management Concentration Courses Include:* Entrepreneurship Concentration Courses Include:* Public Relations Advertising Financial Reporting Corporate Finance Project Management Managing Human Resources Entrepreneurial Marketing Entrepreneurial Finance Digital Marketing Branding Financial Markets & Institutions Corporate and Business Law Leadership Operations Management Managing the Growing Business Family Businesses Marketing Strategy Sales and Selling Asset Valuation Taxation Managing Information Systems Change Management Corporate Entrepreneurship Building Social Enterprises Pricing Marketing Research and Consumer Behavior Financial Auditing and Assurance Portfolio Management and Wealth Planning Performance Management Crisis Communication and Crisis Management Trends and Innovation Social Innovation * Curriculum, courses, sequencing, and program requirements are subject to change. 36 • The paths many entrepreneurs took during their adventures, including their successes and lessons learned from failure * Curriculum, courses, sequencing, and program requirements are subject to change. * Curriculum, courses, sequencing, and program requirements are subject to change. * Curriculum, courses, sequencing, and program requirements are subject to change. hult.edu 37 A typical year at Hult G L O B A L C A M P U S R O TAT I O N International experience is crucial for today’s global executives. Hult offers you the extraordinary opportunity to live and study in San Francisco and London, and visit Dubai, Shanghai, and Miami. The only school to have campuses in both the U.S. and Europe Hult is the only business school in the world with full undergraduate programs in both the U.S. and Europe. That means you could spend four years in San Francisco, or four years in London, or any combination between the two. Every academic year, you have the choice to study at either campus. This unique capability allows you to explore life on both continents, expand your personal network, and seek employment from a wider array of potential employers. Nothing can replace the experience of getting an on-the-ground understanding of what is happening in different parts of the world—international business cannot just be taught in a classroom. 38 As you study alongside new faces and learn from different faculty, you’ll mingle with new Hult classmates from other campuses and build valuable contacts. Our global network ensures that your Bachelor program experience is uninterrupted and hassle-free. Participate in a summer rotation to one of Hult’s international campuses* Seamless experience from Hult to Hult Add even more global context to your business studies. Discover a new country while studying and earning credits toward your Bachelor degree. Summer rotation gives you the opportunity to take advantage of the school’s global campus network and complement your studies with firsthand knowledge about life and business in one of the world’s major economic centers. The ability to move between San Francisco and London is fully integrated into our Bachelor curriculum. The curriculum in both locations is fully synchronized so that you don’t miss any part of your education or waste time learning duplicate material. No matter which Hult campus you are on, you will use the same electronic library and the same Course Management System, and will be familiar with the way how our Registry and Student Services work. Summer rotation is available each year in Dubai, Shanghai, and Miami. Summer rotation lasts six weeks, usually during the Summer terms, enabling you to take classes specific to your travel destination on themes ranging from language and culture to local and regional economy. Hult San Francisco and Hult London are available as summer rotation destinations for students who do not want to commit to a full academic year in either location as their home campus. Core academic year (Required) Summer Terms (Optional) Late September to early May Mid-May to early August 30 Credits 6 or 12 credits Choose a home campus at the start of each year: Choose up to two locations for your • London • San Francisco summer rotation: • Dubai • Shanghai • Miami • London • San Francisco Experience a new culture without disrupting your studies During summer rotation, you can earn six credits by taking two courses with Hult professors at your chosen campus. In addition, you will have opportunities to participate in local campus events and immerse yourself in the local environment. (See p. 40.) *Summer rotation is expected to run with limited capacity each academic year. hult.edu 39 S U M M E R R O TAT I O N S “Rotating was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made...” Experience new cultures while accelerating your studies. Hult’s summer rotations allow students to earn elective credits at Hult’s campuses in Dubai, Shanghai, London, San Francisco, or Hult’s rotation center in Miami. Students emerge from summer rotations with exposure to new markets and increased confidence in international business. Dubai “...I left Dubai with knowledge, amazing friendships, and a new impression of the Middle East.” Sebastian Varela Colombia, Bachelor Class of 2014 “What I find interesting about Chinese culture is the way Shanghai is growing and expanding due to the economic changes, and also how that can be seen in the changes in the skyline.” Ashling Galligan U.S., Bachelor Class of 2014 Dubai Shanghai Miami At the center of the Middle East’s finance, commerce, and trade, the city of Dubai provides a remarkable opportunity to hone your international business skills. For any aspiring business leader to truly understand China, you must experience Shanghai—the country’s sophisticated and trendsetting megacity. Miami is the commercial gateway between the U.S. and Latin America—a theme also reflected in its climate, neighborhoods, and urban style. Modern, fascinating, and safe, Dubai is an important gateway for trade flow between East and West. Hult Dubai is a gathering point for international talent, with the campus hosting over 50 guest speakers last year, and is conveniently located in Dubai Internet City. China’s ascendancy as a global superpower is rooted in Shanghai, a city home to international business, new trends, and groundbreaking ideas. Hult undergraduates have the opportunity to travel to Shanghai to study Chinese culture and language at Hult Shanghai, experiencing this rapidly expanding and evolving market firsthand and witnessing the contrast between East and West. Beyond the sand and surf, Miami is a major center for finance, commerce, culture, media, entertainment, arts, and international trade as one of the world’s busiest ports. Bachelor students on the summer rotation to Dubai learn about doing business in the Middle East and study the Arabic language. Students have the opportunity to immerse themselves in Arabic culture through a guided visit to the Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding, which includes a talk about Islamic culture and business etiquette, followed by a traditional Arabic dinner. From visiting the Burj Khalifa and one of Dubai’s many beaches to going on a desert safari or shopping at the souks, students have the opportunity to experience all this dynamic city has to offer. Students on the Shanghai summer rotation benefit from learning international business in a global setting and seeing how the business knowledge and theory they learned in class plays out in the real world, with a Chinese context. Students will adapt to living in a new culture—from learning how to navigate a new city and trying cuisines from all different parts of Asia, to visiting Chinese cultural venues and exploring exciting Shanghai nightlife. Bachelor students will enjoy the postcardperfect city of Miami, Florida, on the U.S.’s Atlantic coast. Because of the city’s proximity to Latin America, Miami serves as the headquarters of Latin American operations for thousands of multinational corporations, including FedEx, AIG, Disney, Cisco, Microsoft, Yahoo, Oracle, Wal-Mart, and Visa. Nicknamed the “Capital of Latin America,” Miami has a distinct Latin flavor with Spanish, Caribbean, and Cuban neighborhoods contributing to its diverse and vibrant culture. Shanghai “I have chosen San Francisco for my summer rotation, mainly because San Francisco is said to be an international sustainability hub, where creative entrepreneurial minds come together to share and create sustainable solutions.” Ushbah Abid Oman and Pakistan, Bachelor Class of 2014 Miami “Every event that happened in Shanghai was new for me and was an experience I won’t forget. I was exposed to Chinese culture, new foods, a totally different and complex language, and unfamiliar ideologies and ways of doing business backed up by centuries of history. We also had some incredible, real-world guest speakers visit our classrooms.” Kari Felton Canada, Bachelor Class of 2014 40 hult.edu 41 W O R L D - C L A S S FA C U LT Y Our professors and lecturers are noted for their academic credentials, talent for teaching, and real-world experience.

Students may select one or more of these options as capstones of their Bachelor degree. At Hult, the most academically talented students graduate with Distinction. In addition, Hult provides a range of incentives and opportunities to challenge these students and prepare them for graduate study. Merit-based scholarships are also offered to promising students. Action Projects (available from Year 3) Working in teams, students spend six weeks working on a real-time consulting project for a client company. The Action Project allows students to put their practical business skills to the test by working with their client on the development of a strategy to meet the specific needs of the company. Five teams of five students work with each client company, with regular feedback during the six-week project. When the final presentations are made in the company boardroom, it is the client who announces which team provided the best solution. Undergraduate students are given the option of participating in a project alongside Hult Master students at a Hult campus where such projects are taking place. Hult Impact Challenge (available from Year 3) The Hult Impact Challenge is an extendedlength team project, by nature hugely challenging and complex, enabling students to test their ability to deliver a project of high quality with a strict deadline. The goal of the Hult Impact Challenge is simple to explain, yet complex to achieve: to develop the most game-changing business idea imaginable, and to convince stakeholders that you can make it happen. Students can choose to work in teams on an entrepreneurial challenge, a social venture challenge, or a predetermined corporate challenge. Projects will have a broad strategic focus, and solutions are expected to be both innovative and pragmatic. Student teams begin working on their chosen challenge in January, analyzing initial assumptions and setting goals. Over a sixmonth period, the teams will validate and refine their assumptions, and bring together evidence to identify and present an impactful business solution. The Hult Impact Challenge culminates when student teams present their solutions to a panel of external judges, whereupon a global winner will be crowned. Rewarding academic excellence A credit-bearing internship is available as a capstone course to qualifying students. Internships may be undertaken either in the home campus city or abroad, usually during the summer. Hult’s Career Services offer workshops to assist students who wish to secure internships.
