Today's School of Hotel
Administration is the most sophisticated service-oriented management school
in the world. The Hotel School is home to 850 undergraduates from the United
States and 42 countries, 120 graduate students (master's and Ph.D. degrees),
and more than 1,700 industry professionals from 90 countries enrolled in
executive education. Each year about 250 industry leaders visit Cornell
to lecture, confer, and offer guidance to our students. More than 100 hospitality
companies recruit our students for full-time and summer employment. With
60 full-time teaching faculty, the Cornell Hotel School has the world's
largest group of scholars focused on hospitality service-oriented management.
As a result of our industry outreach and partnerships, the Hotel School
is the hospitality industry's “think tank.” The Hotel School and the modern
150-room Statler Hotel and Conference Center (a teaching hotel) are located
in the heart of Cornell University's beautiful Ivy League.
Hotel School History and
Programs
Founded in 1922 at the request
of several of the nation's leading hotel magnates and the American Hotel
Association, the school has an intriguing history. The founders wanted
to create a first-rate academic institution providing a field of study
for the "science" of running hotels and restaurants. In 1973, the first
master's degree program for the industry, an M.B.A. with hospitality focus,
was offered at the Cornell Hotel School. This program was created to address
the growing complexity for senior managers in the industry that could best
be supported by a graduate degree program as well as expanded executive
courses taught by faculty with the credentials appropriate for graduate
and executive education. Many graduates of the Hotel School have gone on
to become entrepreneurs who have created new companies and new services
for the hospitality industry.
The Cornell Hotel School
is delivering the education and interacting with industry leaders to ensure
that the fast-paced and ever-changing opportunities of the hospitality
industry are led by first-rate management experts who have a passion for
the industry and a strategic understanding of how to manage their companies
and provide service to the people.
