Cornell University School of Hotel Administration - Executive Education for Hospitality Professionals

The Cornell University School of Hotel Administration delivers high-quality executive education courses to over 1,700 hospitality industry professionals each year. Unlike generalized business management coursework, each of these Cornell courses turns a sharp focus on the hospitality industry.

"Our faculty is closely aligned with the hospitality industry. Professors use hard data and problems drawn directly from our industry. They utilize the most effective techniques for helping students learn. They know how to translate the latest and best theories into useful strategies students can use immediately in their work," says Tom Kline, Director of Executive Education.

INTERNATIONAL HOSPITALITY TRAINING PROGRAMS

Cornell programs are attended by hospitality professionals from all over the world. "In our on-campus programs attended by hundreds of professionals every year, seventy-five percent of our students come from outside the United States" says Tom Kline, Director of Executive Education.

"It is common to have managers from three or four continents discussing business challenges and solutions in our classrooms. With a mix of brands and independents, this highly international student mix creates a 'think tank' environment that enhances the problem-solving orientation of the coursework."

ONLINE HOSPITALITY TRAINING COURSES

International participation extends to Cornell online courses as well with hospitality professionals from over eighty countries having logged on to over 12,000 courses since their launch in July 2002.

Cornell's programs for hospitality professionals provide over 60 courses offered across three international locations: Ithaca, New York, Brussels, Belgium and Singapore. Whether attending a single course or taking a series of courses to earn a certification Cornell offers the most extensive learning opportunities.
