Cornell General Managers Program 2027

The in-person program takes place at Cornell University’s School of Hotel Administration in Ithaca, New York.

The program is for hotel general managers and their immediate successors.

It is best suited to sitting hotel general managers and their likely successors, since the program is built for that group and pairs two live virtual courses with a residential stretch at Cornell's School of Hotel Administration. Department heads several steps from a general manager role, or owners wanting a short networking event, would get less from a multi-part executive education program.

Executive education participants in hospitality usually wear business casual on campus, with polished smart-casual pieces for group dinners, and hotel managers tend to dress a notch sharper than most. A January start in Ithaca calls for a warm coat and waterproof footwear.
