Cornell launches dual MMH-MBA degree with leading Chinese business school

Management in Hospitality (MMH) and Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree program. The program will have its first intake of students in fall 2015.
Through the new program, students will learn from expert faculty from both schools, get hands-on experience in an international setting, and gain valuable cultural and business perspectives.
"China is the second-largest economy in the world, and its hospitality industry is poised for dramatic expansion. As the Chinese middle class grows, domestic hospitality companies are building new brands, and international brands are expanding into the country," said Michael D. Johnson, dean and E. M. Statler Professor at the School of Hotel Administration. "CEIBS is one of the top-ranked business schools both in this market and the world, making it a perfect counterpart for our first MMH-MBA dual degree."
Through this innovative dual-degree program, students can complete the AACSB-accredited MMH and MBA degrees over the course of two years, the MMH degree at Cornell and the MBA degree at CEIBS. Students will begin the program at either CEIBS or Cornell, spending their second year at the alternate campus.
"An understanding of the way business is done in China, within a global context, is now an invaluable asset—as it will be for years to come—and the country's service industry is becoming increasingly important," said Hellmut Schutte, CEIBS dean and Distinguished Professor of International Management. "CEIBS is pleased to be able to collaborate with Cornell in offering this opportunity of a dual degree that aligns two very important areas."
