<p>Anyone go or have a child who did? Is it possible to do a joint program with the business school? If a child is in state can they attend at state U prices. Any info at all would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>I went to Cornell, but not the hotel school.</p>
<p>The hotel school is one of Cornell's endowed colleges, not one of its contract (partly state-supported) colleges. Therefore, everyone pays the same tuition, regardless of whether they are in-state or out-of-state.</p>
<p>The Cornell hotel school is the best program of its kind in the country -- some say, in the world. You can find lots of information here: <a href="http://www.hotelschool.cornell.edu/%5B/url%5D">http://www.hotelschool.cornell.edu/</a></p>
<p>UNLV also has a fine program. Obviously not Ivy League caliber, but its centered in one of the biggest hospitality cities in the world.</p>
<p>The child is interested in hotels and tourism, but not sure this is the career she wants. My thinking is that Cornell might be a good choice for this reason for a strong student. They place at consulting firms, real estate firms, etc. I'm not sure other hotel schools do.</p>
<p>I was stunned to read on their web site that they have had an 80% yield for 2 years. What does everyone make of this?</p>
<p>The people who apply to the Cornell hotel school know what they want, and they know that Cornell is the best possible place to get it. That's why the yield is so high. These are students who are very, very happy to receive their acceptance letters and who have no hesitation about saying "Yes" to Cornell.</p>
<p>Cornell has six students who are blogging their way through this school year, with the blogs posted on Cornell's Web site. One of them is a student in the School of Hotel Administration. Your prospective student might want to take a look. <a href="http://www.cornell.edu/studentlife/blogs.cfm%5B/url%5D">http://www.cornell.edu/studentlife/blogs.cfm</a></p>
<p>My son is a freshman in the Hotel School at Cornell. The impression I have of his course program is that he'll have a business degree that's slanted to the hospitality industry. Cornell's acredited undergraduate business program is in the College of Ag and Life Sciences -- started out as an Ag Economics program. I do not believe that you can be in the Hotel School and get a minor from CALS -- but I don't think you would need said minor. MOst of that coursework is covered in the Hotel School.</p>
<p>One of the great things about Cornell is that students can take courses in all of the different colleges and schools.</p>
<p>Any specific questions, feel free to PM me.</p>
<p>The University of Houston has a very reputable hotel school (Marriot affliation) and a low price; I know a girl in the program now, and she seems pretty pleased.</p>
<p>check out University of Delaware. Good friend's D found this program (she is from California) and has enrolled there. Loves it.</p>
<p>One of my past managers originally got a hospitality management degree and his experience has been that a standard business degree would've been a much better decision.</p>
<p>It's somewhat limited in scope, and the hospitality industry in general doesn't pay very well until you get to the top. So if management is your thing, I might suggest getting a business management degree and possibly a certificate/minor in hospitality, or just take a few classes in the area.</p>
