The MMH is a 12-month, three-semester program beginning in May. This intensive schedule is designed to address the needs and timelines of both the industry and the students.

Over the past three years, the average score of successful applicants on the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) score was higher than 630.

The MMH degree program offers the business-management curriculum you'll find in a typical MBA program, but with an exclusive focus on the hospitality and services industries. Class discussions, projects, and case studies apply to hospitality, first and foremost.

The MMH degree is accredited by AACSB International - The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business - which certifies the world's foremost schools and colleges of business.

No. Your undergraduate degree can be in any field, provided your grade-point average is high (the average undergraduate G.P.A. for admitted MMH students has been 3.3.) In fact, only a small number of MMH students studied hospitality as an undergraduate - most students come into the program with social science or traditional business degrees.

No prerequisite coursework is required to apply. Once you've been admitted into the program, you'll register for three online precourses.  These must be successfully completed before you begin the on-campus core courses and Career Track electives.
