And there are few that know that better than Gerta Dhamo\u2014whose brain devised the newest addition to Hult&#8217;s programs. We interviewed Gerta to get a picture of the woman at the heart of GOMBA\u2014and what makes it a cut above the other MBAs out there.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I witnessed the massive growth of distance education\u2014that has been incredible.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Hi Gerta, let&#8217;s hear a little about you<\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">I&#8217;m Gerta Dhamo, digital programs manager for Hult\u2019s online graduate programs. I have over a decade of experience in higher education. Before Hult, I was at Harvard working in various program management roles and instructional design. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">How did you begin your career in higher education?<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">My passion for higher education started when I was an undergraduate intern at an international student office at a school in Boston. That&#8217;s when I decided to pursue a career in education, although I was studying politics. From there, my journey led me to Harvard, where I held several positions in academics, student programs, research, instructional design, and curriculum development. I did my master\u2019s in education at Harvard at the same time as I was working there. This mean&#8217;s I&#8217;m very aware of what it means to be a part-time student with a full-time job.\u00a0 <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Ultimately, GOMBA is an Online MBA, where courses are fully taught online on zoom over a weekend.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Has anything about your career trajectory surprised you?<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I would say entering the world of online learning was a surprise. I witnessed the massive growth of distance education\u2014that has been incredible. At my previous job, I was designing and launching online courses for a certificate program, then COVID hit. It seemed I was perfectly positioned to continue that path of offering online education on a bigger scale. That&#8217;s what led me to Hult.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0Hult\u2019s GOMBA is purpose-built to give students the best return on their investment.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">How have your own experiences informed your approach to creating the Global Online MBA (GOMBA)?<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A decade of experience in higher education has informed the creation of GOMBA. For me, one of the most critical aspects of the program is making sure our students feel confident in their decision when choosing Hult. My academic years have informed me of the importance of ensuring students have access to quality education and support. Online programs tend to isolate initially\u2014ours is designed not to. In terms of program design, my experience at Harvard Business School launching online courses taught me best practices. It also helped me understand how we deliver live online and asynchronous, or self-paced, courses in partnership with faculty. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0Students come together to discuss today\u2019s most pressing business challenges and strengthen relationships with faculty and peers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">What\u2019s the purpose behind combining FlexOnline and Live Online?

We\u2019ve launched several different flavors, including Flex Online and Live Online. Combining the two will give students the best of both worlds. Ultimately, GOMBA is an Online MBA, where courses are fully taught online on zoom over a weekend. When students are facing schedule conflicts or cannot attend over a weekend, they have an opportunity to take the course in an asynchronous format, allowing them to study at their own pace.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">What do people want in an online MBA? <\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">When looking at what people want in an online MBA, the top reasons are flexibility and cost. On top of that they require a quality curriculum and a diverse group of peers to engage with. Moreover, what I think people are looking for is a valuable, successful experience.\u00a0 In a recent study by Wiley, a global leader in research and education, about what influences student satisfaction and success in online programs, they found students value community, consistency, and support. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0GOMBA is designed with flexibility in mind, with live online courses running over weekends, not weekdays.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Does GOMBA deliver that?<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Absolutely! GOMBA is designed with three pillars in mind: flexibility, a diverse, global network, and a skills-based, hands-on curriculum. I want to touch on these three very briefly:<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">People looking to complete an online MBA are most likely balancing work and family responsibilities while advancing their careers.

When joining GOMBA, our academic team will ensure students are engaged and learning from both faculty and peers.
