Business Management vs Hotel Management

College Search & Selection

<p>So what would I really like is having my own hotel, or starting with my own franchise. I know that it requires time, experience and lots of money, but that is my "dream". I see a lot of times that Hotel Management grads finish at medium-high positions at nice hotels. And although I will of course first start working at a hotel, my main goal is managing one (being the "boss").</p>

<p>So I asked myself, if my main goal is to own/manage my own hotel, should I study Business management? Or is the Hotel Management career offers more "benefits" and its better to achieve my goal?</p>

<p>One thing is that only some universities offer H.M. careers, if I chose this career I would like to study at Cornell, Ecole hotelier du Lausanne, or even at UNLV.</p>

<p>So should I study B.M. or H.M?
And where?</p>

<p>Ever consider Paul Smiths’ in New York? It flies under everybody’s radar.</p>

<p>No, but right now I’m focusing more on which career to choose.</p>

<p>And UNLV looks really good and it’s next to thousand of jobs.</p>

<p>If your goal is to become a hotel’s general manager, you definitely should study HM;
In the US, Cornell is the no.1
In Switzerland, you have EHL (ecole Hoteliere de Lausanne), Glion and les Roches;</p>
