Background information

The Master of Management in Hospitality (MMH) Program is a graduate-level business program at the Cornell Nolan School of Hotel Administration firmly anchored in the hospitality industry. The MMH curriculum focuses on understanding and experiencing the business of hospitality management, rather than general man­agement. This MMH degree program combines required courses in hospitality busi­ness, immersive industry experiences, and specialization options. The program is completed in three semes­ters (fall, spring, fall) and requires a summer internship. https://sha.cornell.edu/admissions-programs/graduate/mmh/

Professional Development Program (PDP) is a series of three-day courses offered in the summer (June 2023) on the Cornell University campus. Certification and courses are geared toward hospitality professionals who have a minimum of two years’ experience in the hospitality industry or a related field. https://ecornell.cornell.edu/about-ecornell/pdp-frequently-asked-questions/

The General Managers Program (GMP) is a learning experience for hotel general managers and their imme­diate successors, held as a hybrid online and on the Cornell University campus. It is known as the hospitality industry's elite career-advancement program for hotel general managers and their immediate successors. Participants gain an invaluable connection to an international network of elite hoteliers from within the program, and affiliate membership in Cornell's extensive alumni network of more than 12,000 School of Hotel Administration graduates. The on-campus experience is the beginning of a lifelong connection to Cornell and its expanding base of knowledge and relationships. https://ecornell.cornell.edu/certificates/hospitality-and-foodservice-management/general-managers-program/
