Hult International Business School is a private global business school with campus locations in San Francisco, London, New York City, Dubai, Boston, and Shanghai. Hult, named after Swedish billionaire and education advocate Bertil Hult, is the successor institution to two former business schools: the Arthur D. Little School of Management, founded in 1964 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Ashridge Business School, founded in 1959 in Hertfordshire, England.
Hult International Business School offers undergraduate, master's, and MBA degree program, as well as executive education through the Ashridge Executive Education, housed in Ashridge House in Hertfordshire, north of London.
Hult is accredited by the three largest business school accreditation associations: AACSB, AMBA, and EQUIS.
The school is known for its Hult Prize, the world's largest student competition for social good, which is hosted by Hult in collaboration with the United Nations Foundation and former U.S Presidents Bill Clinton.

History
The Management Education Institute, later the Arthur D. Little School of Management, was founded in 1964 by Arthur D. Little Inc, the world's oldest management consulting firm. The institution developed a one-year postgraduate degree program in management that was launched as the school's first program. Only five years earlier, in 1959, the Ashridge Management College was established in the United Kingdom. Ten years later, in 1969, Ashridge had expanded its operations to include more than 100 programs and more than 2,000 annual participants. Arthur D. Little School of Management was accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges in 1976, allowing for higher academic integrity in a city where universities like Harvard had thrived for more than a century.
Because of financial difficulties, the school was acquired by Bertil Hult and renamed Hult International Business School in 2003. In 2008, Hult opened its first campus outside the United States in Dubai, and a year later, a campus in London. A review of Hult International Business School's global footprint led to a second campus opening in the United States in 2010 in San Francisco and in 2011, another campus opened in Shanghai, China. In 2015, Hult International Business School and Ashridge Business School operationally merged under the common brand Hult International Business School. Ashridge Business School was renamed Ashridge Executive Education, Hult.
Starting in 2010 the school became a co-sponsor, with the Clinton Global Initiative, of the Hult Prize, an annual, year-long competition that crowd-sources ideas from MBA and college students after challenging them to solve a pressing social issue around topics such as food security, water access, energy, and education.
Hult received the triple accreditation (AACSB - AMBA - EQUIS). Less than 1% of all business schools worldwide achieved this honor. In the United States, Hult International Business School is the first and only business school to possess it.
