Hults LEAP Method gives you board-level exposure to leading companies Hult is the pioneer in action learning, integrating classroom teaching with real-life situations. Our curriculum is based on three components: Learn, Experience, and Action Project Hults LEAP Method. This means not simply sitting in a classroom, but actually going into the real world and applying the tools and concepts to real business situations. Theory is taught in the classroom through lectures and required readings. The theory is then put to the test through case studies of actual business problems and business simulations. An integral part of our LEAP Method is the Action Project, which gives you the chance to apply the skills you have learned in the classroom and work as part of a small team focused on solving a current business problem for a top company. Formerly known as the Arthur D. Little School of Management Hult International Business School was formerly known as the Arthur D. Little School of Management. Arthur D.

Arthur Dehon Little (1863-1935) was an MIT-educated chemist who is known as the father of the consulting industry. Dr. Little started his company in 1886 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. As the first to see the need for a professional organization to provide systematic research and development and sage advice to industry, Dr. Little began the original consulting practice that spawned successors like McKinsey, Bain, BCG, and Monitor. For 120 years, the company and the ideas that Arthur D. Little conceived have helped industry and governments manage change induced by technological, economic, and social forces. Today, Arthur D. Little Inc. is part of an international network of more than 18,000 professionals in over 30 countries around the world.

There are few schools that truly offer a global business education today.

The schools highly international student body, campuses in todays economic hotspots, and faculty comprised of accomplished practitioners rather than academics helped get me ready for a career in international business. In just one year I received the kind of hands-on, real-world education one usually only gets after years at a multinational company. Kay Witte Knauf Group (Germany) Germany, Class of 2008

Hults innovative curriculum has been forged by the demands of employers and realities of business Hult International Business School, born from the worlds first management consulting firm Arthur D. Little Inc. over 40 years ago, has always had a different take on standard business education practices. The school pioneered the concept of Action Learning, requiring all Hult students to undertake a consulting project with a real company as part of their graduation requirements. We have methodically improved this approach to where it is todaysomething we call the Hult LEAP Method: Learn, Experience, Action Project.
Students start by learning theory and business fundamentals in the classroom. Like most top business schools, Hult faculty extensively employs the case study methodology to help students understand the theory in the context of a business problem. Professors encourage thought-provoking debate, giving students the chance to benefit from the wealth of experience and perspectives that diverse classmates bring. However, unlike other top business schools this is not where the learning stops.
Through discussions with industry experts and company visits, the practical realities of executing the classroom theory are brought to life. Meaningful dialogue with active business leaders helps students appreciate how realworld executives make decisions in a fast-moving, competitive environment with imperfect information. For example, a senior executive of Real Madrid Football Club explains the economics of running one of the worlds largest sports franchises, while the co-founder of Apple discusses how to maintain innovation in a corporate environment.
Participate in a realworld project for a major company. With a small team of classmates and a faculty advisor, students will compete against other teams to develop a growth plan for a leading company. Over a period of six weeks, each team will work with the company to develop an idea and business case. Then, you will present your recommendations to an executive or manager of that company.
Learn from faculty who have real business experience Unlike other business schools that are researchoriented, Hults talented pool of teaching faculty are academics who have significant business experience. Over 80 percent of our faculty have had real-world business experience, working for companies like Procter & Gamble, Motorola, Credit Suisse, and Monitor Group. Others have started successful ventures themselves. This wealth of knowledge and practical business experience is an essential component of the Hult LEAP method, since it helps ensure all facets are seamlessly integrated to provide an exceptional educational experience.
The program continues to be a source of creative and innovative ideas from which BAE Systems will develop future business opportunities. There are few opportunities in which sponsors and students can gain so much mutual experience and benefit. Larrie Cable Vice President, Innovation & Growth BAE Systems

Grading Procedure 1. Grading Standards Course instructors will evaluate and assess participant performance. Grades are assigned according to the Instructors assessment of performance on the intellectual and professional criteria established for the course. The Instructor has full authority and responsibility to establish performance criteria, evaluate participant performance, and award grades. The Faculty uses the following grading system to evaluate participant performance: Points Grade Performance 4.00 A Outstanding 3.67 AExcellent 3.33 B+ Very Good 3.00 B Good 2.67 BAcceptable 2.33 C+ High Marginal 2.00 C Marginal 1.67 CLow Marginal 1.00 D Unsatisfactory 0 F Fail Acceptable graduate-level work is a B- or better. The Registrar releases ofcial nal course grades at the end of each module in the form of a transcript. Individual grade breakdowns (participation, homework, and exam grades, for example) are available only from Instructors. Every Hult student is entitled to know the manner in which his or her course grade was calculated. 2. Grade Point Average A weighted grade point average (GPA) is computed by multiplying the numerical grade received for each course or module by the number of credit hours per course, totaling these gures, then dividing the sum by the total credit hours. Pass and Incomplete grades and their corresponding credits are not factored into the weighted average. A Fail will be factored into the weighted average as a numerical grade of zero. Every course in which a student has enrolled, and for which a student has been assigned a letter grade, will be denoted on his or her transcript. Every letter grade denoted on the transcript will be factored into the calculation of the students overall GPA. Graduation Requirements 1. Basic Requirements MIB candidates must complete 37 credits of course work to be eligible for the MIB degree. Other Master candidates must complete 36 credits of course work to be eligible for their respective degree. Course credit is awarded for achieving a grade better than F on a course. All courses in Module A or B as well as the skills track courses must be completed with a satisfactory grade. Should a participant receive an F on a required course, this course must be re-taken at Hult or an approved institution within a period of three years from the participants original enrollment date and the participant must achieve a satisfactory grade.
