In which school is the postgraduate entrance examination for hotel management major better?

Many students who want to go to American business schools for graduate studies lock their application majors in hot majors such as finance and accounting. When it comes to hotel management, people often scoff. Some students think that this major is too low-end, and the field of future employment even makes them feel humiliated.

In fact, many students have some deviations in their views because of their imaginative understanding of the professional names of hotel management. Hotel management major is really not to train shop assistants or waiters. If you learn this major well, it is entirely possible for you to get a high salary and generous benefits, and you can also work quite decently.

Many American universities combine tourism and hotel management, so domestic students majoring in tourism management can also apply for hotel management in the United States.

The employment fields of hotel management graduates mainly include hotel industry, tourism, casinos and luxury cruise ships.

Studying hotel management in America is not just an armchair strategist in the library. Almost all schools offering hotel management majors in the United States have their own hotels to provide internship opportunities for students. School teaching adopts the method of combining theory with practice, so that students can get internship opportunities while learning theoretical knowledge and exercise their abilities in practical work. The student canteens in some schools are also contracted to students majoring in hotel management for internships.

There are not many schools in the United States that offer master's degrees in hotel management, but the results are very evenly distributed.

The best people can apply to an Ivy League school like Cornell.

Cornell is considered as one of the best schools in hotel management education in the world. It has been more than 90 years since 1922, and it is the earliest university in the United States to offer hotel management. Unlike many other schools, Cornell's hotel management major was not put under the school of management together with MBA major, but a hotel management school was set up separately.

From this point, we can see that the school attaches great importance to the hotel management major. Postgraduate education of hotel major in Cornell University can be divided into MMH (Master of Hotel Management) and Master/Doctor (Master of Science and Doctor degree program oriented to research and teaching). As the only Ivy League university offering hotel management, Cornell aims to cultivate industry leaders.

Although work experience is not necessary, students admitted to Cornell University in recent years generally have more than three years of work experience. Therefore, students who have no work experience should be cautious when applying, because leadership and management ability are very important when enrolling students in universities.

Students with upper secondary education can apply for Pennsylvania State University, George Washington University, Purdue University, etc. And hotel management education is also good.

Penn State University and Purdue University, as established public universities, have a little more theoretical courses and generally require strict scores when enrolling students. If you can't reach the score line, it will be more difficult to enroll students. The admission method of George Washington University is flexible, and it is possible to admit students with good background but slightly poor grades. Zhang, a former college student, had a GPA of only 2.9, but his application documents reflected his rich activities and internship experience, as well as his excellent leadership and communication skills. In the end, he was successfully admitted to George Washington University.

Other schools with moderate difficulty in admission are Denver University and Michigan State University. In addition, for students with poor language performance, you can choose a school that can provide double admission opportunities, such as Johnson & Johnson University in Wales. Due to the limited space, I won't introduce it in detail here.

▍ Matters needing attention in choosing a school-geographical location should be considered.

When applying for hotel management major, it is suggested that the comprehensive ranking published in American news should not be taken as the only reference standard, and geographical location, employment rate and other factors should be properly considered. For example, the University of Nevada in Las Vegas, a famous American gambling city, is not on the comprehensive ranking list, but its hotel management education is highly respected. Las Vegas takes tourism, vacation, shopping and gambling as its main industries, which provides a unique employment environment for hotel management graduates.

If you have good work or internship experience in this field, it is feasible to apply for hotel management across majors. In fact, many schools offering hotel management majors are not very strict with students' previous professional background. Take student y as an example. He is studying law at university. Y entered the customer service department of a four-star hotel in China after graduation, and became the customer service supervisor from an ordinary employee. When applying for an American university, Y had only one year's work experience. But five of the six schools he applied for accepted him, and some schools even gave him thousands of dollars in scholarships.

▍Employment

If hotel management graduates choose to work in the United States, they may start at the grassroots level at first, but as professionals with professional background, they can often get relatively rapid promotion. Managers in this field are well paid. At present, the demand for positions in the field of hotel management in the United States is still quite large, which means that there is a greater chance of finding a job in the United States after graduation. China's tourism and hotel industry is developing, and high-end talents are extremely scarce. According to the estimation of relevant departments, the demand for talents in this field will further increase in the next few years.
