Cornell–Peking MMH/MBA

The Cornell–Peking MMH/MBA is a part-time, bilingual dual-degree program designed for working professionals in China. Offered through the Nolan School and the Guanghua School of Management at Peking University, the program combines hospitality management and business education in an international format that allows students to continue working while they study. Graduates earn two degrees.

Delivered over two years, the program integrates weekend classes in Shanghai with residential sessions in Ithaca and New York City. Students complete the majority of their coursework in China while participating in immersive U.S.-based experiences that connect them with Cornell faculty, industry leaders and applied learning opportunities.

The program develops leaders with both local market insight and global perspective, particularly for the hospitality and service industries in China and across international markets.
