Our International MBA campus has stunning views of downtown and the Charles River.

Witness China’s astounding economic growth and transformation into one of the world’s power houses at our campus in Shanghai’s commercial, financial retail and social center.

History

The institution was established in 1964 by Arthur D. Little Inc. as the Management Education Institute, a subsidiary for training of business executives,[11] modeled on the MIT Sloan School of Management.

In 1996, the school, then known as the Arthur D. Little School of Management, formed a partnership with Boston College's Carroll School of Management, giving it access to the college's facilities.[11] The following year the Arthur D. Little School of Management became an independent non-profit entity, with Arthur D. Little Inc. as its only shareholder.[11]

In 2002, after Arthur D. Little declared bankruptcy, Kaplan, Inc. acquired the business school, renaming it the Concord School of Management and converting it to a for-profit school. [12][13][14]

It was renamed the Hult International Business School in 2003.[15] That same year the school moved to Cambridge.

After the accreditation of Hult's 1 year MBA program by Association of MBAs (AMBA) in 2005, it started its worldwide expansion in order to become a truly global business school. Its Shanghai campus opened (Elective Term only) in 2007, and Dubai campus in the following year. Hult became the first American educational institution officially approved in U.A.E. In 2009, Hult merged Huron University to open its new London campus[16].
