Real-world business experience As a Hult student, you’ll experience first-hand how real business decisions are made. Experiential learning is the cornerstone of the Hult curriculum, and as a Hult undergraduate, you’ll have direct exposure to the excitement that comes with being in the boardroom.
A curriculum for employability
Hult Business Challenge

We’ve specifically built our undergraduate curriculum with this insight in mind. Throughout your time at Hult, you will gain hands-on business experience with a focus on communication, cross-cultural competency, and teamwork.
The Hult Business Challenge is a unique Capstone Project, in which you will be asked to work in teams led by a faculty mentor to tackle a critical social or business problem. Your team will then pitch a solution developed over months of collaboration to real business leaders. Designed to hone your presentation and entrepreneurial skills, the Hult Business Challenge is an opportunity few other undergraduates could hope to experience.
Experience equals employability in competitive job markets, and internships give you the experience needed to stand out. You’ll work closely with our Career Services department and a faculty mentor to choose an internship aligned with your career aspirations. Along with the opportunity to add real value to an established business or a start-up, you’ll also have the option to complete an in-depth research project as part of your internship.

Our program blends skills, experience, and knowledge across a range of courses including General Education and Leadership Development, Business Core, Electives, and Major courses culminating in a Capstone Project. General Education & Leadership Development Hult’s unique approach to General Education has been defined with the aim of developing future business leaders.

From your first year at Hult, your courses will focus on developing your teamwork, relationship building, cross-cultural communication, and public speaking skills. Additionally, you will become comfortable working with data and spreadsheets. The cumulative impact of these courses ensures that, from early in your degree, you will have developed the core skills that your current professors and future employers value so highly.

Business Core
Major (Your area of specialization)
The Business Core helps you to build a solid foundation in each functional area of business administration. Through these courses, you will learn to see how these functional areas fit together, and which ones are most suited to your interests and abilities.
Your Major is a level of concentrated study within your preferred business field. Hult offers five Majors: Management, Marketing, Entrepreneurship, Accounting, and Finance. By the end of your second year, or once you’ve achieved 60 credits, you will choose your Major. This choice largely dictates your course options during your final years of study, and often aligns closely with your career aspirations.
Your knowledge will be placed in the context of the increasingly complex global environment that businesses must operate in, with a focus on how to solve international issues and challenges. By exposing you to a wide range of disciplines, the Business Core curriculum will create a platform for you to decide your Major and choose your Elective courses. In your final two years, you’ll complete the Business Core by taking advanced classes, which integrate recurring themes in global business. These challenging courses call upon you to think strategically about global business models, ethics, and practices.
Electives Along with your Major, you will also take Elective courses. Typically, these will be related to your area of specialization, but you may also choose to further your knowledge in other areas of business, or take additional General Education and Leadership Development courses. How you fill your Elective courses is entirely up to you. Capstone Project In your final year, you’ll complete a Capstone Project for your degree. This project will be relevant to your interests and Major and will represent the culmination of your studies. You can complete your capstone in one of three ways: by taking part in the Hult Business Challenge, writing a thesis, or undertaking a high-value internship.

Inspiring faculty “The kind of diversity we have among our students somehow generates, over the course of their studies, a global student. That is how you might define a Hult student, whatever their background. Maybe you have one student who comes from Asia and one from America, but by the end of their course, they have both changed. I see it all the time—students become more mature and more international in their thinking. There is so much value in this.” Alessandro Lanteri Italy Associate Professor of Entrepreneurship Professor Lanteri is a thought leader on entrepreneurship and business ethics. He has lectured widely on these subjects across Europe and the U.S. and his research has been published internationally. He is also a Certified Public Accountant and has served as a consultant to the United Nations Joint Program Against HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS). Which courses do you teach? Every year I teach several courses in the field of entrepreneurship, such as Corporate Entrepreneurship, Social Innovation in Finance, and Social Entrepreneurship. What is your teaching style? Classes are very varied. They tend to be less of a lecture—I don’t feel that I "instruct" my students, because I feel that it is more of a dialogue. This is wonderful for me as a professor too because I learn from them. How would you describe the teacher– student relationship at Hult? I have a nice, informal relationship with my students. Often they will come by my desk to ask for advice or send me an email to share the projects that they are pursuing. I feel like I manage to interact with them and share my knowledge with them beyond the structure of a class. What advice would you give to a prospective student? Your undergraduate years are a time to invest in your personal and professional growth. Take the time to learn new languages and other skills that you can apply to a variety of fields. Travel extensively and enjoy life!

How do you approach teaching? With my students, I want to lower barriers—I want them to be able to approach and engage with me. I try to encourage them to call me Daniel. However, some still call me Professor Rukare, and others call me "Sir." I keep telling them that I’ve not been knighted yet, but when I am, I will definitely let you know! What is the homework like in your classes?
“Hult is a family.You develop personal relationships here—students and professors are able to engage on a one-to-one basis, and I get to understand my students better.

Homework is more about the practical application of what’s covered in class. Hult students are always keen on understanding how to apply a theoretical concept that they’ve learned to real situations. The industries we look at are constantly evolving and changing, so I encourage students to source information from more unconventional sources like blogs, The Financial Times, and to look at which new companies are trending.
