MBA
Hult’s transformative Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) is designed around the universal truth that to master a skill—any skill, from riding a bike to leading a team—it must be practiced.
Practical learning challenges are integrated into your entire program—ensuring you understand the relevant theory while developing the mindsets and skills essential for a career on a global scale.
Putting learning at the center of doing
Put theory into practice through real-world business scenarios, live client consulting, simulations, and hackathons. Work in diverse teams, take risks in a safe and supporting environment, and solve the challenges businesses are facing right now as you carve your path to becoming a successful global professional.
Using big-data analytics with Burning Glass Technologies, we identified the professional and technical skills global employers hire for—and built these directly into your program. We’ll work together, continuously, to help you build the essential knowledge base, mindsets, and skills to graduate with the tools you’ll need for the role you want.
Core & specialization modules
All core and specialization modules are a half-semester long (7.5 credits) and built around a real-world business challenge—this could be a complex project, a live business consultation, hackathon, or simulation.
Core Modules: Build a strong core
Become an expert in the essential areas of international business—but not in isolated courses. Core subjects, from finance to marketing to management and ethics, are integrated together throughout the module. You immediately apply your learnings to your business challenge, just like you would in the real world, while developing the skills and mindsets essential for a successful career in whatever field you choose.
Specialization Modules: Do what you love
Keep your business knowledge base broad or specialize in an area of interest while developing the professional skills to give yourself the edge in a particular field after graduation. No need to decide yet—you're bound to discover so much about yourself; feel free to wait and see where your passion leads you.
