<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>I'm really interested in doing Hotel Management as my major but I can;t seem to find a ranking of the hotel management programs offered by colleges which will help me choose one school over the other. I am thinking of going to switzerland as well to schools such as Ecole Hoteliere Lausanne and Les Roches but I also dont want to limit myself just in case I find Hotel management may not be an appropriate course of study for me. Any Advice?</p>
<p>Thanks!

<p>I believe that Cornell University is ranked as the top school for hotel management in the world every year.</p>
<p>I don't know if I'm thinking of something completely different, but UNLV comes to mind.</p>
<p>Definately Cornell. They have a separeate school just for Hotelies.</p>
<p>Cornell University has what is generally considered the premier Hotel Management program in the US. Other than Cornell, the following are also considered good:</p>
<p>Miichigan State University-East Lansing
Pennsylvania State University-University Park
Purdue University-West Lafayette
University of Houston
University of Massachusetts-Amherst
University of Nevada-Las Vegas</p>
<p>oh alright thanks for the info! does anyone(e.g. USnews) rank hotel programs in the world/US?</p>
<p>In case you wanted to know Cornell's hotel school admission statistics...</p>
<p>Acceptance Rate: 24% (They take around 200 of 800-900 applicants each year)</p>
<p>% of acceptees in top 10% of their HS class: 57%</p>
<p>I've heard that whether or not you have work experience in the hotel area is a major factor. They're less concerned about grades than the other schools at Cornell and more concerned about work experience.</p>
