Flexible program lengths that fit your schedule
No matter where in the world you’ve attended high school, or how intensely you want to study while you’re at Hult, our flexible curriculum is built to adapt to your needs and goals—meaning you can study the topics you choose, at the speed that suits you.
3 years Global standard track In some parts of the world, you take additional high school education (for example, the International Baccalaureate or UK A-levels). In that case, you would qualify for 30 “Advanced Placement” credits with Hult and can expect to graduate in three years. | 4 years US standard track If you come from a standard high school, you will be on this track and typically take four years to complete your degree. This is the standard length of an undergraduate program at most US colleges and universities. “Advanced Placement” (AP) credits will also be assessed on an individual basis. | 2-3 years Transfer students Candidates who have studied at another accredited university or business school will be assessed for transfer credits into the Hult Bachelor of Business Administration upon receipt of their official transcripts. |
Summer programs Graduate faster All students can graduate faster by earning credits over the summer, meaning some highly ambitious students graduate in as little as two years. |
