Our hands-on approach to learning helps you become job-ready from day one.

26

Our LEAP Method


Employers want graduates who are job-ready. Weve designed our curriculum so that you dont just study abstract theoryyou also get hands-on experience. Our innovative curriculum is based on three components, Learn, Experience, Action Project: LEAP.

1. Learn
Hults LEAP method is an integrated approach to learning that enables you to be able to put classroom theory into practice. Start your Master by learning theory and business fundamentals in the classroom. Like most top business schools, Hult faculty employ the case study method to illustrate how business principles are applied in practice. Professors encourage thought-provoking class discussions to facilitate the exchange of ideas and the sharing of experiences. Hult provides you with the theory, tools, terminology, and trends to give you a broad perspective on business. However, unlike other top business schools, Hult goes beyond the theoretical to the practical.

2. Experience
Experience is a critical component of our LEAP method. Your year will include panel discussions with industry experts, company visits, and exclusive networking opportunities. These features will give you an opportunity to relate theory to practice. Meaningful dialogue with prominent business leaders will offer valuable insights into how executives make decisions in a fast-moving, competitive environment with imperfect information. Past classroom speakers include a senior executive of Real Madrid Football Club, who explained the economics of running one of the worlds largest sports franchises; the co-founder of Apple Computer, who discussed how to maintain innovation in a changing business environment; and the head of a major Silicon Valley venture capital firm, who advised students on how to approach and evaluate potential venture capital opportunities.

3. Action Project
Participate in a real-world project for a major company. Advised by a mentor (typically an experienced management consultant), small teams of students compete with one another to develop a business strategy for a leading multinational. No other business school offers such access to key decision-makers of the worlds leading companies. Over a period of six weeks, each team will consult with company managers to make a business case for the development of a novel idea. Each team will present its recommendations to a senior company leader. Hults Action Projects are designed to emphasize competition, innovation, and growth. Though the scope of Action Projects varies, projects focus on a central challenge facing the senior executive team of the company.

MIB students are given the chance to apply what they have learned in a true business setting, helping them get job-ready for their future. How your Action Project works We place you in small teams and assign each team to a leading business or company to help solve a real business problem. Each team is led by a faculty advisor. At each of Hults international campuses, we have created partnerships with leading global multinationals and business executives. Within each of these companies, five student teams work intimately with a high-level executive in charge of growing the company. Student teams are further motivated to work at high standards by competing with each other. Over six weeks, these teams meet with the company executive(s) four times while facing the task of developing a full-fledged plan to grow the company. Simultaneously, they are aided through the process by one of Hults world-class consulting coaches. During this distinctive project, each team will develop insights about the particular industry and business, identify breakthrough ideas, develop a business concept, and build an implementation plan to present to senior executives and CEOs.

Master of Social Entrepreneurship


Hults Master of Social Entrepreneurship is a highly practical program focused on how to apply business skills to important global social problems. Learn how to deploy innovative business solutions to large-scale social issues.
What is social entrepreneurship? Social entrepreneurs are often from the corporate sector or people who are business entrepreneurs, who are passionate about social issues. They think about ways to combine resources in innovative ways to address social, political, or environmental concerns as any profit-making enterprise does. The most important difference between a traditional business and a social enterprise is that profit is not the main motive. The enterprise must be sustainable and not incur losses, but the overall driving force is about maximizing social impact. Why is social entrepreneurship important now? Solutions to global social problems need innovative and entrepreneurial approaches more than ever. Increasingly, central governments are reducing their expenditures on social issues, either unable to fund expensive programs, or concluding that traditional methods have failed to have impact. At the same time, needs are becoming greater and more complex. Evidence indicates that social entrepreneurs are making a difference, often in areas where government and international development may have failed. In some countries, governments are looking into how social entrepreneurs are solving problems. The scope of social entrepreneurship Social entrepreneurs tackle major social issues, from increasing the availability of quality education for low-income students to fighting poverty in developing countries. Social entrepreneurship takes place in both non-profit and for-profit organizations, and successful social entrepreneurs must build relationships with corporations, charities, and governments alike. Social entrepreneurs must be knowledgeable about contemporary global issues, solution-oriented, and adept at mobilizing human, financial, and political resources to support their project. Pragmatic learning outcomes Hults pioneering Master of Social Entrepreneurship (MSE) gives you the skills necessary to engage in successful issueadvocacy, problem-solving innovation, and project development. Graduates will be empowered to act as effective leaders of change, either via new ventures of their own or through existing for-profit, non-profit, and governmental institutions. The program emphasizes building core business skills optimized for socio-political contexts. Action Project provides hands-on experience The capstone of Hults Master programs, the Action Project, calls upon students to put knowledge and skills to the test as they become consultants for actual organizations working on real-world challenges.

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 A- Excellent 3.33 B+ Very Good 3.00 B Good 2.67 B- Acceptable 2.33 C+ High Marginal 2.00 C Marginal 1.67 C- Low Marginal 1.00 D Unsatisfactory 0 F Fail Acceptable graduate-level work is a B- or better. The Registrar releases official final 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 figures, 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 Master candidates must complete 39 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, B and C, 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. Those who satisfy all program requirements (including: participation in all courses, payment of all financial obligations, return of all library materials, and completion of all evaluations), who receive a grade other than Incomplete for each course, who have no outstanding Honor Code issues, and who have a final GPA of 2.70 or better are granted the Master degree. Degrees are recommended by the Dean to the Faculty and the Board of Trustees and awarded by vote of the Faculty and the Board. In addition, for visa purposes, the student must meet full-time student residency requirements of the campus host country. 2. Deans List Participants who earn a GPA of 3.60 or above for any Module are formally named to the Hult International Business School Deans List for that Module. Qualifying participants receive notification from the Dean with appropriate recording in the participants permanent academic file. With the participants approval, formal announcement of this scholastic achievement will be made to respective sponsors and agencies. The School is very pleased to offer this achievement award and hopes this award will serve as added incentive for all participants. 3. Graduation with Honors Participants graduating with a cumulative GPA at or above 3.60 and who are in the top 10% of the class will be designated a Hult Scholar and will receive their degree with Distinction indicating the highest honor. Those whose cumulative GPA is 3.60 or above but who are not in the top 10% of the class will receive their degree with Excellence, as recommended to the Faculty and Board of Trustees by the Dean. Dismissal from the Program The School reserves the right to dismiss any participant at any time whose academic performance is unsatisfactory, whose conduct constitutes unacceptable professional behavior, or whose legal or medical problems hinder satisfactory performance. In such cases, the Dean will notify the participant in writing, a degree will not be awarded to the participant, and, as appropriate, the participants sponsor will be notified.
