Masters in Management

Program Overview

Hult's Master's in Management is a full-time, one-year program that can be completed at the Boston campus or other global campuses like London and Dubai. The curriculum is structured around three core modules, each featuring an integrated business challenge that fosters practical application of skills. Following the core modules, students can broaden their knowledge with a wide array of summer electives or choose a specialization track in areas like Analytics, Entrepreneurship, Finance, Marketing, or even an internship. This flexibility allows students to tailor their degree to align with specific career aspirations. Hult also offers an appealing Dual Degree option, enabling students to earn a second specialist master's degree in as little as an additional six months of study.

This is a significant advantage, especially for international students, as it makes them eligible for a 24-month extension of their Optional Practical Training (OPT) in the United States. This can lead to a total of up to three years of valuable post-graduation work experience in the U.S., significantly enhancing career opportunities. The STEM designation underscores the program's rigorous quantitative, technological, and analytical components, reflecting the high demand for such skills in today's global economy.

Curriculum: The Master's in Management curriculum is designed for intensive skills development and continuous practical application. It is structured into three core modules: "Design" (Sept-Dec), "Growth" (Jan-Feb), and "Execution" (Mar-Apr), each incorporating a "Business Challenge." Core courses cover areas like Global Organization Management, Business Insights Through Data, Accounting for Managers, Design Thinking for Innovation, AI and the Future of Work, Digital Marketing Strategy & Execution, Data Visualization, Financial Management & Decision-Making, and Project Planning & Execution. In the summer semester (May-Aug), students can choose from over 150 elective courses or complete track-specific courses for a specialization in Analytics, Entrepreneurship, Finance, or Marketing. The curriculum emphasizes teamwork, communication, project management, and analytical skills, preparing students for real-world scenarios.

Research Focus: Hult International Business School's research approach is deeply integrated with its "learn by doing" philosophy and its commitment to real-world impact. While the MiM is a professional degree, the school has a strong "Hult Impact Research" initiative that focuses on creating ecosystems of research to address issues critical to business and education. This includes exploring themes like "What Does It Mean to Be AI Ready?" "Human-AI Collaboration," "Ethical Leadership in an AI-Driven World," and "AI for Sustainability." Hult's Impact Labs (Futures Lab, Sustainability Lab, Leadership Lab) and the Hult Ashridge Center for Executive Coaching are central to this research, bringing together leading researchers and industry practitioners. This ensures that the curriculum and learning experiences are informed by the latest insights and industry challenges, though the MiM program itself doesn't typically require a traditional thesis.

Industry Engagement: Hult places a paramount emphasis on industry engagement, leveraging its campus locations in major business hubs like Boston, London, and Dubai. The program incorporates "real-world business challenges" with actual companies, allowing students to work on practical problems and gain invaluable experience. These challenges expose students to diverse industries and foster direct interaction with industry leaders. Hult's faculty often have extensive professional experience, bringing practical insights and a strong network into the classroom. The school's extensive career development resources and global alumni network are actively utilized to facilitate internships, mentorships, and direct employment opportunities with leading global organizations. This strong industry connection ensures that Hult graduates possess the practical skills and network demanded by employers worldwide.

Global Perspective: A truly global perspective is a cornerstone of Hult's Master's in Management program. With a diverse student body comprising over 150 nationalities, students are immersed in a multicultural learning environment. The unique "Global Campus Rotation" allows students to study their core program at one campus (e.g., Boston) and then rotate to other campuses (e.g., London, Dubai, San Francisco) for electives, gaining on-the-ground international experience in different business ecosystems. This global rotation, combined with international city seminars and a curriculum that inherently addresses global business issues, prepares graduates to thrive in cross-cultural teams and navigate the complexities of the international business world. Hult's emphasis on global understanding extends to its faculty, alumni network, and the types of business challenges students undertake, all designed to foster a global mindset.
