In 1964, Hult International Business School was established in Boston as America's first corporate university. Focused on delivering a practical business education for managers, the teaching pedagogy was different from other business schools because it emphasized "action learning" – applying classroom theory in the real world. In 2003, one of Europe's most successful entrepreneurs, Bertil Hult, had a vision to create the world’s first global business school. And Hult International Business School was born.
