Meet Anusha Vissapragada

Anusha Vissapragada is the faculty lead for business analytics and computer science at Hult Boston. In 2025, she was named one of the 50 Best Undergraduate Business Professors by Poets & Quants.

In addition to her leadership role, Anusha served as a key architect of Hult’s first STEM-designated undergraduate analytics pathway. Her courses combine data science with hands-on projects, where students have generated over 1 million USD in value by advising nonprofits, small businesses, and healthcare organizations. She is the author of two textbooks, a TEDx speaker on partnering AI with human intelligence, and a member of Hult’s task force on teaching philosophy.

About the event

This session is designed for ambitious high school students interested in tech and business. Whether you’re already coding or simply curious about startups, you’ll learn how real tech founders build products, develop a strong problem-solving mindset from day one, and experience Hult’s learning-by-doing approach to computer science.

Dare mighty things

As NASA's Perseverance rover floated down to the surface of Mars, three words were encoded in binary as an Easter egg on the parachute: Dare Mighty Things.

That’s exactly what we strive to do at Hult as we teach the skills and mindsets needed to thrive in the world of international business. Fresh perspectives, exceptional experiences, varied skillsets—you'll find a world of diversity among the people, programs, and places that make up our global community.

Whether you're looking to transform your career through education or join our team in shaping the next generation of global leaders, we're here to help you dare mighty things.

Build human skills

No one learned to play piano purely by attending lectures, and reading a team leadership textbook doesn’t mean you can lead a team. At Hult, we believe that learning by doing is simply a better way to learn, now more than ever.

As AI transforms the workplace, it's the core human skills that make great colleagues and leaders. Building skills like communication, collaboration, and creativity is our primary focus at Hult, with academic and personal coaching to support all the way.

Join a global classroom

At Hult, you'll leave your comfort zone again and again. With home campuses in Boston, London, and Dubai, the chance to rotate between them and join city seminar expeditions to far-flung locations, you’ll literally widen your horizons.

The faculty, staff, and student body representing over 140 nationalities bring diverse perspectives from every corner of the world to challenge your assumptions on a weekly basis. If you find that uncomfortably exciting, you’re in the right place.

Connect to the real world

From their first day at Hult, students are being prepared to leave. Our professors draw on years of industry experience, and clients from real businesses deliver their most pressing, current problems to solve.

Whether climbing the career ladder, transforming the family business, or starting their own, we want Hult graduates to look around and think, "I recognize this," because that's what they've been doing from day one.
