3. Build core business knowledge
at your home campus. Take your
electives anywhere.
Choose a convenient home campus
where you will complete your business
knowledge courses (Modules 1 & 2) from
November to May. Then customize your
program for your career by taking your
electives (Module 3) at any of our study
locations from May through July.
(See right for a full list.)
4. Study online—if you need to.
Whenever the demands of work or your
home life make travel to campus difficult,
you can opt to complete Modules 1 or 2
of either year online.
1. Study on campus one long
weekend a month.
During each four-day session, you attend
lectures, workshops, and group projects
that focus on a single course subject (see
the chart below). Though intensive, these
face-to-face sessions accelerate your
progress, enabling you to complete about
a course a month on average.
2. Prepare for class and complete
assignments at home.
Several hours of the coursework is
completed off-site, in the two weeks
before or after your on-campus sessions.
When and where you do your homework
is, of course, entirely up to you.
5. Each October, immerse yourself
in leadership development.
Our innovative leadership “boot camp”
at the outset of each year helps you
develop a set of competencies across
four critical leadership areas.
6. Put all the concepts you’re
learning to practical use.
In February of Year 2, begin work on
the Business Challenge—a three-month
team project to solve a problem for a
company, or to launch a startup.
7. Consult with our expert career
coaches throughout your program.
Attend classes one weekend
a month for two years.
Our innovative curriculum enables you to study part-time, but
still benefit from all the essential elements of a full-time program:
business knowledge courses, career-specific electives, leadership
development, practical experience, and career coaching.

- 2. Spending time atHult’s campus in Shanghai allows you to experience how the Chinese economy impacts almost everything. The list of leaders is changing faster than you think. By some measures, China has already overtaken the U.S. as the world’s largest economy. China has built a rail system in the past two decades that could circle the globe three times, and the Chinese own more smartphones than any other country. London is the world’s most international city. Hult has three separate campuses in the Greater London area. Business today is global. A relevant business education must be a global one. Now that 60% of the world’s economic output crosses an international border, it’s no longer enough to understand how business works.You also need to know how the world works.
- 3. Hult offers electivesin downtown Manhattan— within walking distance of Wall Street. Hult Dubai places you at the crossroads of trade, media, and tourism in one of the world’s most vibrant emerging markets. The world’s largest cities have more economic power than many countries. NewYork City vies neck and neck with Tokyo as the world’s most powerful city. Its 1.1 trillion dollar economic output exceeds that of Mexico. The influence of emerging markets is on the rise. Emerging markets now import more goods than developed economies.They also produce over 50% of the world’s GDP.Their foreign investment exceeds 440 billion dollars—more than the U.S. and Europe combined.
- 4. Hult is the globalbusiness school. Hult’s Global Executive MBA offers the most global, practical—and flexible—business education available.

Technology is changing everything. Uber is the world’s largest taxi company, but it doesn’t own any cars.Airbnb has more rooms worldwide than Hilton, but it doesn’t own any hotels. Alibaba is one of the planet’s largest retailers, yet it carries no inventory. This is the world of global business...

On average, our Executive MBA students are 36 years old with 11 years of work experience. Many business schools claim to be global. Hult classrooms actually prove it. We look for what makes you unique. Many of the world’s most successful leaders did not graduate from college at the top of their class. Yet no one doubts that there’s something truly special about them.That’s why Hult is interested in more than just your academic record and job résumé.We want to get to know you: what makes you tick, where your true passions lie, and how you think you’ve succeeded—or failed. Study alongside business professionals from every industry. Your fellow classmates will quickly become one of your most prized learning resources.They come from the broadest possible range of professional backgrounds—having already worked an average of 11 years doing everything imaginable.Together, you will not only share your experiences, but teach each other how everyone sees the world from different angles. Most important of all, you will learn how to use this diversity to your advantage.You will not only graduate with a network of friends and colleagues from every major city in the world, you will become a true global citizen. Global student body: In 2015, Hult’s incoming student body represented 120 countries and spoke over 100 languages. Though our Executive MBA candidates come from every corner of the globe, they share a common desire to take the next big step in their careers. They question the status quo, dare to be different, and think outside of the box. GLOBAL EXECUTIVE MBA12 THE GLOBAL BUSINESS SCHOOL 13 HULT.EDU/EMBA
- 8. Global faculty:Though Hultprofessors have the academic training you would expect, the subjects they teach are greatly enhanced by their internationalism: they come from 37 countries and have collectively taught on nearly every continent. But what sets them truly apart is their real-world experience. Everything you learn is backed by examples from their successes as corporate executives, business owners, inventors, and entrepreneurs. Our faculty bring their international experience to the classroom. A different approach to what makes a great professor. Unlike the faculty of many universities—who are primarily researchers and authors—Hult professors pride themselves first and foremost on their ability to excel in the classroom. Many have achieved significant success in the business world, and are keen to share it with their students. Some have worked in large multinationals like McKinsey & Company, Coca-Cola, and Credit Suisse. Others have run their own businesses and enterprises. Several have developed their own patents for goods and services.All of them understand the demands on busy executives, since they are business professionals themselves. Inspiring teachers, satisfied students. Our professors and lecturers all possess impressive academic credentials—93% hold advanced degrees from some of the world’s finest institutions. But what matters most to our students is their performance in the classroom. According to the The Economist Executive MBA Rankings 2015, our students rate the quality of teaching they receive from their professors at 4.53 out of 5. Hult professors hail from 37 countries.The majority bring over 10 years of teaching experience to the classroom, as well as their own successes in the business world.

- 9. Our curriculum isbased on the issues facing today’s international companies. Many of the same experts who develop and teach our Executive MBA courses have worked with some of the world’s leading companies. Not only do we teach global management to Executive MBA students, we also consult for some of the world’s most respected organizations. This problem-solving takes many forms including strategy development, change management, and leadership development. We translate our findings into relevant educational content. Part of our mission is to translate the best practices from our consulting work into useful information for the business world.We maintain a cutting-edge research center to identify and study trends in the global marketplace. But most importantly for you, we take what we learn and build it into our Executive MBA curriculum so that you get the most relevant business education available.You’ll find yourself applying many of the tools and techniques you learn in class to situations that arise at your current job. Hult’s Ashridge Executive Education delivers over 300 customized management development programs a year to some of the world’s most respected organizations. A few of the global organizations that turn to us for executive and organizational development —— Air China —— AstraZeneca —— Bank of China —— Bayer —— China Post —— Coca-Cola —— Daimler —— Dubai Roads & Transport Authority —— Electrolux —— Ericsson —— EY —— Heineken —— International Committee of the Red Cross —— Microsoft —— Nokia Siemens —— Rolls-Royce —— Rugby Football Union U.K. —— SABMiller —— Sinopec —— Tetra Pak —— Time Warner Inc. —— U.K. National Health Service —— World Health Organization Global curriculum: There’s probably no greater testimony to the quality of Hult’s highly practical Executive MBA curriculum than the fact that hundreds of multinational companies turn to Hult’s Ashridge Executive Education programs for consulting, management training, and leadership development.

Business knowledge: The core AllExecutive MBA programs teach the fundamentals of strategy, finance, and management.What sets Hult apart: the way we bring the core concepts of business knowledge to life through experiential teaching techniques and guest lectures from industry leaders—enhancing every subject with a global perspective. The building blocks of business. During the first two modules of each program year, you will focus on the basic building blocks of business theory—strategy, finance, and management. We insist everyone take this core group of subjects because they’re vital topics for any leader to grasp. But don’t expect canned lectures on analysis, marketing, and economics. Our professors teach these subjects from a global perspective. They illustrate key concepts with their own real-world experience. And your fellow classmates broaden the debate with perspectives from every major market. Experts in bringing the fundamental concepts to life. Since we all learn best by doing, your professors will periodically take you out of the classroom to help bring core subjects to life. We set up dynamic simulations, have students work through difficult role-play situations with actors, use computer-based models to market and sell products, and organize outdoor activities to learn teamwork and leadership skills. One of our more unconventional approaches is to pitch students against professional poker players in a lesson designed to teach the art of risk management! By the time you have completed your core studies, you will not only know all the fundamentals of business, you will have experienced many of them firsthand. Hear the inside story, directly from industry leaders. Each Hult campus hosts a Global Speaker Series so that you have the opportunity to hear directly from the world’s brightest minds. In the past, Hult has welcomed thought leaders such as Steve Wozniak (co-founder of Apple), Biz Stone (co-founder of Twitter), Arianna Huffington (founder and publisher of The Huffington Post) and Muhammad Yunus (Nobel Peace Prize Winner) to share their inspirational stories and the lessons they have learned on the way to the top. These sessions offer invaluable insight into cutting-edge business trends, and provide access to the people who are defining the shape of business (see pp. 20-21). Core courses: Leadership —— Leading Globally —— Leading with Personal Impact —— Leading for Innovation —— Leading Change Strategy —— International Marketing —— Global Strategy —— Business and Global Society —— Global Operations Management Finance —— Financial Management —— Managerial Economics —— Accounting “ The Executive MBA gives you the skills and knowledge needed to understand the why, how, when, and what-if of the business world. It’s helping me excel in the workplace and advance my career at a quick pace.” Raed N. Bakhrji Wireline Services Director, Middle East & Asia-Pacific, Baker Hughes Saudi Arabia, Class of 2011 It is a well-known fact in the business community that venture capitalists are notoriously difficult to convince. Before they are willing to invest in any new company, they interrogate every nut and bolt of a young business. No stone is left unturned while they get to know the inner workings of a business, and assess whether future growth proposals are realistic. At Hult,we believe in throwing students into the deep end,so we have devised theVenture Strategy competition.The aim of this two-day contest is to simulate a real-life,high-pressure environment in which you and your teammates compete against other companies to secure funding to launch a tech startup.Teams are systematically eliminated over two days,and winners are selected across numerous categories, including highest return on investment,largest market share,and best management team. Being put in the hot seat like this truly makes students scrutinize the viability of both their business idea and business plan.The mix of computer simulation and real-world interaction throughout the competition teaches you: —— How to create innovative business plans with a unique marketing niche —— How to pitch your business idea to potential investors over the course of multiple rounds —— How to work in cross-functional teams to make investment, production, sales, and marketing decisions that will ultimately determine whether your business succeeds Previous students have thoroughly enjoyed this simulation, despite (or maybe because of) the very steep learning curve. Nearly all come away from the exercise with new respect for the phrase “entrepreneurial spirit.” How would you fare against a venture capitalist? CURRICULUM 28 GLOBAL EXECUTIVE MBA 29 HULT.EDU/EMBA

Practical experience: The BusinessChallenge Put all the business knowledge and leadership skills you are learning to the test with this three-month project in which you and your teammates solve an existing problem for an individual company (such as your own employer), or create the business plan for a startup or social enterprise. Rise to the challenge and make a real impact The key concepts of business can certainly be introduced by a teacher, case study, or textbook. But they cannot truly be mastered until they are practiced firsthand. The Business Challenge is a three-month group project in the final modules of your program that allows you to use all the tools and techniques you’ve learned by solving a real business problem. It gives you the chance to develop and test innovative ideas that will make a difference—not only in your current job, but in your future career. How it works The competition starts in February of Year 2, when students form teams and choose a Business Challenge track. In the CEO Challenge, you solve a problem for a participating company—or for your own employer. In the Startup Challenge, you bring your own idea to life for a new product, service, or social enterprise. Throughout the remainder of the year, your team meets regularly—in person when you’re on campus or via Skype when you’re at home—to hone your innovative idea into an actionable plan, with mentorship and guidance from company officials, local mentors, and Hult professors. Exposure to industry leaders In the CEO Challenge, you will present your recommendations directly to a senior company leader or board member. In the Startup Challenge, you get to present your game-changing business idea to a panel of local executives, entrepreneurs, and founders of social enterprises. The challenge isn’t just an academic exercise, but the first step to your next big career move—whether that’s a promotion in your current company; landing your dream job in a new industry; or launching your own startup.

Why choose San Francisco A city that caters equally to tech giants and startups San Francisco is the ideal location for the digitally driven age we currently live in. The city has long been powered by the startup economy, earning itself a global reputation for creativity and technological wizardry. Indeed, having seen a generation of determined entrepreneurs build huge business empires out of garages and college dorm rooms, San Francisco has become the world’s premier destination for those wanting to push the boundaries of the possible. Silicon Valley, just south of the city, is the world’s leading tech hub, and is home to anyone who is anyone in the digital world including Facebook, Twitter, eBay, Uber, and Airbnb. Yet 85% of companies in the Bay Area have fewer than 10 employees. This blend of small and mighty makes for a truly unique business community, in which forward thinking and creativity are the most highly prized credentials. Networking is a way of life San Francisco intentionally blurs the boundaries between work and play, and its renowned “meet-up” culture seamlessly combines networking with socializing. Our rotation center is well-placed to take advantage of this engrained mentality, and our own networking events provide another valuable springboard into the wider business community. Hult students here tend to have an entrepreneurial mindset and don’t waste any time capitalizing on the contacts they have made—even before graduation.

Our scholarships cover a wide range of backgrounds, industries, sectors, and nationalities. A few examples of available scholarships include: —— Academic Excellence Scholarships —— Social Impact Scholarships —— Entrepreneurial Impact Scholarship Scholarships are awarded to eligible candidates who demonstrate the strongest potential. Candidates are required to prove they meet each scholarship criteria through evidence, and/or a written or video submission. Competition for scholarships increases as the year progresses, so we recommend applying early. A full list of our scholarships can be found at: Hult.edu/emba-scholarships Educational loans The majority of our students utilize some form of education loan, even if they receive a scholarship or financial assistance. Students requiring additional financing for their program fees have two main loan options: Local bank loans and government support Financial institutions in many countries offer MBA education financing specifically to local citizens. These loans are typically repayable after completion of the course, although terms vary widely. Depending on where you are from, you may be eligible for loan and grant opportunities offered by your government. We work with candidates to help them identify suitable financial institutions and government programs. GoEd Student Financing Hult has established an exclusive partnership with GoEd Student Financing to offer loans to international students at very competitive interest rates. Loans are typically offered over five years, with a repayment schedule that starts six months after graduation. Hult and GoEd work with students through each step of a simple process so that students will know promptly if their loan application has been accepted. Employer sponsorship Our Global Executive MBA students are either self-sponsored or company-sponsored. We work closely with companies to offer a range of full or partial sponsorships, and we partner closely with them to ensure the highest level of quality, service and customized course content. Contact us for more information about seeking co sponsorship with your company. Scholarships and financial assistance Our Global Executive MBA is cost-effective because our graduates start reaping the benefits of their degree earlier than most leading two-year programs. But we recognize that an MBA is a significant investment.We work closely with you to find the best options to fund your program—including scholarships, financial assistance, and educational loans.
