Cornell-Peking (MMH/MBA)

Program Description

After two years of part-time study, graduates of the Cornell-Peking MMH/MBA dual degree program (M² Program) receive an MBA from the Guanghua School of Management at Peking University (PKU) and a Master of Management in Hospitality (MMH) degree from Cornell's Peter and Stephanie Nolan School of Hotel Administration. This program, with teaching based in Shanghai, accommodates the demanding lifestyles of executive professionals residing in China, allowing the balance of life, work, and study.

Its bilingual approach, class composition, and unique market presence—the Nolan School and GSM split the teaching with participants spending 70% of their time on the Guanghua School's campus in Shanghai and 30% in Ithaca and New York City during U.S. residential sessions.

The M² Cornell-Peking MMH/MBA curriculum, which combines theory and practice, will be taught jointly by faculty at the two schools. Faculty at the Guanghua School teach MBA core courses; Nolan School faculty provide the specialized hospitality management core—in areas such as real estate, service operations, analytics, and human resource management.
