The Cornell-Nanyang Institute of Hospitality Management (CNI) is seeking applicants for the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) program in Hospitality Management.

Successful applicants will pursue their studies at Cornell University, an Ivy-League institution located in Ithaca, New York, while receiving financial and tuition support from CNI and Cornell University. This Ph.D. degree in Hospitality Management is for those seeking academic research and teaching careers in the Hospitality field. The Ph.D. reaches its culmination in original research presented in a candidate's doctoral dissertation.

On completion of the Ph.D. program at Cornell University, candidates will return to a teaching and research position with CNI at the Nanyang Technological University.
