History
[
edit

American background
[
edit
]
The
Arthur D. Little School of Management
was founded in 1964 by
Arthur Dehon Little
in
Cambridge, Massachusetts
.
[9]
Originally developed as an executive management education program, the school began to grant degrees after receiving full accreditation by the
New England Association of Schools and Colleges
in 1976.
[10]
[11]
In 1996, the Arthur D. Little School of Management formed a partnership with
Boston College
's
Carroll School of Management
in order to share access to faculty and facilities.
[12]
British background
[
edit
]
In 1929, Ashridge was formally established as the
College of Citizenship
with the backing of the
Conservative Party
.
[14]
In 1959, the college was re-established as a
school of management
under the name
Ashridge Business School
.
[15]
Contemporary history
[
edit
]
In 2002 Arthur D. Little declared bankruptcy and the for-profit educational branch of the Washington Post,
Kaplan Education
, initiated the purchase of the Arthur D. Little School of Management (which had then changed its name to the Concord School of Management),
[16]
but subsequently decided against the plan. At the time, the school had 26 students. The same year, Swedish billionaire
Bertil Hult
purchased the Arthur D. Little School of Management, which resulted in the school's reorganization and reestablishment as Hult International Business School in 2003.
[17]
Under its restructuring, Hult established a new curriculum oriented on
international business
, which led to the establishment of Hult's global campuses in Dubai (2008), San Francisco (2010), Shanghai (2011), and New York (2014).
[18]
[19]
In 2007, Hult acquired
Huron University in London
, a private American university located in London's
Bloomsbury
neighborhood, which subsequently was reestablished as Hult International Business School's London campus.
[20]
In 2014, Hult International Business School acquired and merged with Ashridge Business School, creating one of the largest business schools in the world.
[21]
After 2015, the two schools began operating as a singular entity, with the establishment of
Ashridge Executive Education
as Hult's executive program.
[22]
Hult opened its
undergraduate
campus in London, near the
City of London
financial centre, in 2014.
[23]
The Economist Intelligence Unit
, supported by Hult International Business School, launched the Business Professor of the Year Award in 2012.
[24]
[25]
By 2014 Hult had become the world's largest graduate business school by enrollment.
[26]
Campuses
[
edit
]
Hult maintains 7 campuses across 3 countries and serves approximately 3,000 students:
[27]
two
undergraduate
and
postgraduate
campuses (London and Boston), three postgraduate campuses that serve as summer rotational campuses (San Francisco, Shanghai and Dubai) one solely postgraduate campuses (New York City), and one
executive education
campus (
Ashridge Estate
in
Hertfordshire
, United Kingdom). Students are encouraged to rotate between campuses during their programs.
The Hult London Undergraduate Campus, built by British firm
Sergison Bates Architects
, won the
Royal Institute of British Architects National Award
in 2015.
