There are not many universities in the United States with a master's degree in pure tourism management. At present, among the top 100 schools, only George Washington University and Michigan State University have tourism management majors. Many schools provide hotel/hotel management, catering management or event management. From the perspective of industry, tourism management includes the above three areas. In terms of professional application, these majors are also connected, so it is generally recommended that students apply for hotel management, catering or exhibition management in the United States at the same time as applying for tourism management, so that they can have more school choices.

For example, Cornell University's hotel postgraduate courses include master's degree, MMH degree and doctor's degree. Among them, MS is mainly preparing for doctoral studies, and will be engaged in education, research, consulting and other fields in the future.
