Program Overview
The Hult Dual Degree Program
Program Overview
Hult’s Dual Degree is the ultimate skills builder. You can combine two Hult master’s degrees to create the ideal skillset for the role you want post-graduation—with just 18 months of study.
What is a Dual Degree?
A Dual Degree sees you earn two postgraduate degrees in different subject areas. You start the second degree immediately after completing the first. Think of a Dual Degree as two standalone degrees, each offering specialized knowledge in addition to the foundational work completed during a traditional single degree. It’s a fast-tracked way to equip yourself with the skills you need for the job you want.
How long does it take to complete a Dual Degree?
Hult’s Dual Degree programs take 18 months to complete. The first degree takes 12 months and includes both core courses and elective courses. The second degree takes 6 months and includes core courses only.
How is a Dual Degree different from a specialization?
A Dual Degree is similar to a double major or a specialization in that you study two distinct areas of business, but with a Dual Degree you study your second subject in much greater depth and graduate with two standalone degrees.
Who should take a Dual Degree?
Individuals early in their careers who are still exploring their professional paths could benefit from starting with a generalist degree like an MBA or Master's in Management before deciding on specializations through elective courses offered within these programs.
Can I do an internship on a Dual Degree?
Yes, in fact a Dual Degree allows for a longer internship period than a single degree.
How it works
If you choose to further your studies with a full-time Dual Degree program, your first degree will follow a standard one-year Master’s in Management or MBA program, on your home campus, with the opportunity to take any electives at any of our campuses. You’ll then pursue your accelerated second degree, which has no elective courses, at our Boston, London, or San Francisco campus.
Choosing your Dual Degree
Choosing the right Dual Degree combination will depend on your career goals, both immediately after graduation and in the longer term. If you’re looking to boost your all-around business skills and have a specific industry in mind, a generalist business degree (such as a Master’s in Management or MBA) makes an ideal first degree. Followed by a second specialist degree in the industry you want to go into (such as finance, marketing, or analytics).
Generalist business + specialist Dual Degree combinations
The most popular Dual Degree combinations at Hult are taking a general business degree, Master’s in Management (MIM) or Master’s in Business Administration (MBA), as a first 12-month degree and following that with a second 6-month accelerated degree in a specialist area, such as marketing, finance, or analytics.
