LONDON, January 7, 2011 - Hult, the multinational business school well-known for its annual
million-dollar competition among students to find the best plan for a chosen
charity, has launched a degree in the emerging academic discipline of using
business solutions to solve social problems.

Students doing Hult's Master in Social Entrepreneurship will spend part
of their one-year degree grappling with real-world challenges set for them by
charities, governments and non-profit organizations, which have so far defied
resolution. Hult's hallmark is a greater emphasis on solving true-to-life
problems than other top business schools.

Dr. Stephen Hodges, President of Hult International Business School,
said: "We hope many Hult graduates in this program will set up their own
charities and non-profits, toplay their part in changing the world. Graduates
in Social Entrepreneurship at Hult and other business schools will be part of
an enlightened elite, that will in the future govern their countries and take
the helm at multinational organizations."

Hult is already well-known in the field of social entrepreneurship for
its annual Hult Global Case Challenge (
www.hultglobalcasechallenge.com/), which brings together the world's
top business schools to find the best solution to a chosen non-profit's
problem. The 2011 beneficiary, Water.org, co-founded by Hollywood actor Matt
Damon
, will receive US$1 million to help it develop its core mission of
providing clean water in poor countries.

Hult's Master in Social Entrepreneurship is based on the principle that
social problems can be tackled in similar ways to business problems - though
it also sets out the special skills that social entrepreneurs will need.

Consequently, the course combines conventional MBA material such as
management accounting, with subjects such as the economics of development. It
also asks tough questions about global society. These include whether some
countries' development is hampered by poor government, or because they are
exploited by more powerful players in the world economy.

The course, which will be based at Hult's London campus, begins in
September 2011. The next application deadline is January 30, 2011
