In a global survey of five-star hotel hiring managers in 2010, market research firm Taylor Nelson Sofres conducted a market survey of hospitality employers regarding their opinions of the top 10 hospitality management schools.
The potential respondent database comprised of more than 50,000 hospitality professionals working in more than 70 countries.
As you go through the results be sure to see if your hospitality school made the Top 10 and, if it didn’t, feel free to comment on why you think it wasn't on the list or why you think it should have been.
