As a Master of Management in Hospitality (MMH) student, you’ll benefit not only from being part of a tight-knit academic cohort of about 50 students, but also the broad offerings of Cornell University, Cornell Peter and Stephanie Nolan School of Hotel Administration the Cornell Graduate School, and the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business—all of which you’ll be a part.
Students tell how the Master of Management in Hospitality (MMH) program helped them feel welcome and part of the community.
You and your peers, while professionally and culturally diverse, will have one thing in common: a passion for hospitality. Small by design, the program allows you to form friendships that can serve as the foundation for your growing professional networks. Your MMH cohort provides academic, professional, and personal support as you complete your graduate hospitality degree.
The class of 2024 matriculated in the fall of 2023 and will graduate in December 2024.
As an MMH student, it’s possible that you’ll interact with hundreds of Cornell Nolan School alumni. They return to Cornell as guest speakers, workshop facilitators, and career mentors, and you’ll meet with them off campus at industry events. The alumni directory will serve as an important resource—Hotelies around the world are happy to chat.
Nolan School faculty have deep expertise in core business disciplines within the verticals that comprise the hospitality industry—lodging, restaurants, real estate, e-commerce, spas, and more. Given the small MMH class size, faculty serve not only as instructors, but also as career coaches, research collaborators, and professional mentors.
Practice your business and communication skills as you participate in hospitality-related hackathons, pitch deck and business plan competitions, treks, case competitions, industry conferences, roundtables, and more. MMH students also lead the Hospitality Graduate Student Organization.
MMH students are part of the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business and the Cornell Graduate School, so whether you’re interested in technology, economics, entrepreneurship, family business, investing, real estate, agriculture—or anything else—you can find ways to get involved and collaborate at Cornell.
