MMH Accelerator Courses with eCornell
Admitted students to the MMH in Asia program will be required to complete six online accelerator courses available through the eCornell platform. Successful completion of these courses is required before the MMH in Asia orientation program in May. These accelerator courses empower incoming students to hit the ground running in our rigorous MMH curriculum, where fundamental quantitative and financial understandings are essential. The accelerator courses are organized into the following three major topics:
Financial Management
Using timelines and cash-flow calculations these two modules will teach you to project cash flow, calculate payments, establish the value of securities and investments, and determine when it is more cost-effective to lease or to buy. You will learn six capital-budgeting rules for making sound project-investment decisions, examine how these six rules differ from one another, and learn when which rules are most appropriate.
Financial Statements
These modules train students to read and interpret income statements, cash-flow statements, and balance sheets to gain a solid foundation for more advanced analysis of a firm's financial performance. You also will learn to use ratio-analysis instruments. It also addresses how financial-health information can be used as a foundation on which to design and implement initiatives for increased productivity and profitability.
Statistical Decision Making
Good managers understand how to use numbers to help solve managerial problems. These hands-on modules cover statistical concepts including descriptive statistics, probability, sampling, and correlation and regression.

The MMH in Asia program equipped me with big picture thinking on how to run a business effectively. I am trained to think like a hospitality leader and to implement important initiatives to the organisation. These valuable skills have put me in a strong position to achieve success in my career.”
