Student Testimony

“I chose the Honor’s Track program because I wanted the biggest challenge from my courses. Each Honors course required more time and commitment, but they were the most enriching educational experiences I’ve had so far. Plus, because I could take a few more courses each year, I finished my Bachelor degree in 3 years and enrolled in Hult’s Master of Finance program – so I’m getting both a Bachelor and Master degree in four years!”

Honors Program

The Honors Program at Hult is designed to serve our most academically talented students. It offers the most rigorous academic challenge while accelerating the 120-credit degree towards completion in less time. 

What is it and how does it work?

Students who achieve outstanding results in their first year of study (cumulative GPA of 3.50 or higher) are invited to join Hult’s Honors
Program. They can join any time from the beginning of Year Two up until the start of their final year, provided they continue to meet the GPA requirement. Honors Program students must take at least three courses during their degree that are designated “Honors,” where they receive extra discussion sessions with the professor and other Honors students. In their final year, all Honors Program students enroll in the Honors Thesis Seminar. Under the guidance of the Honors Advisor, they research and write a polished academic thesis on a topic of their choice in their concentration.

What are the benefits?

  • Earlier completion of the degree program: Students are automatically allowed to take up to one additional course per term—maximum 5 courses (15 credits) per term instead of the usual 4—enabling them to complete their 120-credit BA degree in less time. Non-Honors Program students must wait until their third year to take 5 courses per term and must apply to do so.

  • Dedicated advisors: Each student has a dedicated Honors Advisor who oversees the thesis research and writing.

  • Extra sessions with professors: They receive extra tutorial sessions with professors in Honors-designated courses, with personal attention and advanced discussions beyond class time.

  • Top preparation for graduate school: They graduate from the Honors Program with the highest recognition and solid research papers that can help them gain entry to top graduate programs if they choose.

  • Talented Honors students typically qualify for the Combined Degree program
