Education MBA in Middle East 2008

One Global MBA, Three Locations
Recognizing the need for future business leaders to develop sophisticated, multicultural and global perspectives, Hult International Business School is proud to announce the opening of its new campus in Dubai, UAE, providing the opportunity for MBA students to study in three exciting locations: Boston, Dubai and Shanghai.
Hult offers full-fledged MBA programs in Boston and Dubai. Building on the success of Hult in Boston, ranked 21st in the U.S. by "The Economist Intelligence Unit," the Dubai campus holds to the same standards of highly qualified faculty from the U.S. and Europe, a rigorous and intensive curriculum, and an emphasis on Action Learning. Both the Boston and Dubai locations feature the case study method, the Management Consulting Project, and business simulations.
Shanghai is a satellite campus of Hult which will hold classes for both Boston and Dubai students during their first elective module. This multi-campus rotation is an integral part of the Hult international MBA experience, allowing students to gain a unique insight into the world's key economies

Hult in Dubai
Hult is the first U.S. business school to establish a full-time, fully-accredited MBA program in the Middle East. The Academic Dean of Hult's Dubai campus, Dr Michael Barnes explained, "I believe that the opportunity to study for a world-class MBA in one of the most dynamic cities anywhere will be attractive to students from around the world. Already we are seeing interest from students as far away as Tokyo".
Hallmarks of Hult's International MBA program are:
• Ranked 39th in the world by the Economist Intelligence Unit
• U.S. MBA degree fully-accredited by NEASC and AMBA
• World class faculty from the U.S. and Europe
• Access to Hult's international career services network
• Options to study at any of Hult's three locations

Hult's Dubai campus is located in the Dubai Academic City (DAC), a development exclusively for universities, colleges and institutions of higher education and training. The DAC provides a full range of facilities to make campus life self-contained, which includes: on-campus living facilities, cafes, a food court, an indoor sports and health centre, bookstores, and convenience stores.
Like Hult's other campuses around the world, the school will feature an ultra-modern design, fully-equipped with excellent facilities, including wireless internet access, amphitheatre-style classes, a computer center, student meeting rooms and a coffee corner.

Living in Dubai
Modern, prosperous and safe, Dubai is the fastest growing city in the world and a gateway for commerce between the East and West. Hult students experience not only a new culture and lifestyle but also a country that is literally recreating itself as the financial and commercial hub of the Middle East.
It is one the most dynamic and forward-looking cities in the region - cosmopolitan with an international lifestyle, yet with a culture rooted in the Islamic traditions of the Gulf region. Food and drink from all parts of the world are available along with sports - from European Football to World Rugby and the Cricket World Cup.
