Global One-Year MBA

Immersion is a combination of learning academic fundamentals, leadership development, building new relationships, and forging a sense of community, all while orienting yourself with the city and campus.

Examine the framework of accounting principles emphasizing revenue and expense recognition, valuation of assets and liabilities, financial statement analysis, management communication, and the use of accounting to measure, analyze, and report economic events for internal organizational purposes.

Study the analytical foundations that are essential to rigorously address key issues in competitive strategy, marketing strategy, and related fields to make better decisions. You’ll review companies’ strategic decision-making problems, their available options, and how the competitive environment affects performance.

Build on the skills and models introduced during immersion and specifically focus on growth mindset, interpersonal influence, and team collaboration. Through interactive and collaborative learning, you’ll build skills in communication, relationship building, persuasion, negotiation, and conflict resolution. The workshops are a companion to Hult’s peer feedback process and can provide input on your development priorities.

Explore the psychological and sociological foundations of individual and group behavior in organizations so that you can improve your ability to motivate others, make decisions, design organizations, and navigate national and corporate cultures, with a special focus on multicultural business contexts.

In this new world of information overload, employers actively seek candidates who have the ability to translate data into actionable solutions. Place yourself at the intersection of statistical analysis and business knowledge so that you can make meaningful, impactful contributions to any business.

Develop the financial and logical skills to understand and discuss financial policy in a global economy. Objectives include developing an understanding of the time value of money, using financial statements in decision making, and understanding the nature of financial markets, the cost of capital, and the valuation of stocks and bonds.

Organizations is the delivery of goods and services to meet customer demand. You’ll develop an understanding of operations management in both service and manufacturing organizations, with an emphasis on international operations.

Explore the economic, social, and political context of global business and identify the institutional frameworks that shape the wider context of business. There will be a special focus on defining and understanding the meaning, importance, and implications of social responsibility for all stakeholders.

Learn the processes involved in the creation, communication, pricing, and distribution of products. Through a managerial perspective, you’ll understand the tasks and decisions faced by marketing managers, including target market selection, competitive positioning, and distribution strategies. There’s a particular emphasis on international marketing contexts.

Challenges top management in today’s corporations face when implementing corporate and global strategy. Executives face constant change in global industry as well as in their own backyard. The solutions they must define strike a delicate balance between adapting strategic thinking to business realities and implementing attitudes that are essential to motivating their teams.

In the next ten years the rise of new exponential technologies will change economics and daily life around the world. Making sense of the possibilities requires a future mindset that can understand and act in rapidly shifting digital contexts, organizations, and technologies. Hult students will build competencies in the mindsets and approaches of the new digital economy, exploring the contexts in which digitally forward organizations define new opportunities—and how they turn these opportunities into learning and growth.

Your core challenge in the spring is the capstone to your core courses and demands the utmost creativity. Building upon themes established throughout the program, the Future Challenge calls upon students to harness disruptive technology to create a compelling new business opportunity, either for your own startup or for an existing company. You’ll prepare for the Future Challenge by learning about the disruptive technologies themselves (e.g. blockchain, gene editing, artificial intelligence). You and your team are then given three weeks to develop innovative business ideas utilizing a disruptive technology. Winning teams will present their ideas to external judges who include senior executives, entrepreneurs, and venture capitalists.

Choose six electives from a broad range of topics, or specialize by completing three or more electives in a particular subject area: marketing, finance, entrepreneurship, business analytics, or disruptive technology. You can take electives at up to two of any of our global campus locations in Boston, San Francisco, London, Dubai, Shanghai, and New York.
