The Cornell-Peking MMH/MBA curriculum, which combines theory and practice, will be shared evenly (50% and 50%) and taught jointly by the faculty from both Cornell and Peking Universities. You will learn the subject matter in both English and Mandarin from some of academia’s most respected professors.

The faculty at the Guanghua School of Management teaches MBA core courses; Nolan School faculty provide specialized hospitality management core courses—in areas such as real estate, service operations, analytics, and human resource management.
