Applications for Hult International Business School's MBA Program Skyrocket by More Than 100
Percent
LONDON, Jan. 12 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
Hult International Business School announced today that applications for its MBA program had more than
doubled due to an improved sentiment about the global economy.
"There is definitely a renewed confidence in the economy," says Hult President Dr. Stephen Hodges.
"People who were hesitant to give up work last year to go to business school aren't as worried anymore. The
increase in applications indicates that people feel the worst of the volatility may be behind us and that there
will be substantial opportunities for MBA graduates in 2011". Overall applications for Hult's intensive one-year
MBA program increased 115 percent year-on-year.
Hult's unique global rotation program, in which students can opt to move between Boston, San Francisco,
London, Dubai and Shanghai during their program also contributed to the rise in applications. An overall trend
towards globalization by universities and graduate schools prompted the marked interest in Hult, who has
spearheaded a strategy to become the world's first global business school.
"Higher education is undergoing a huge transformation in terms of increasing presences overseas," says
Hult's Hodges. "In today's business world, you can't be limited to your home country. You have to be open to
foreign cultures and new experiences."
