For the fifth consecutive year, UCF’s Rosen College of Hospitality Management is ranked among the top five best hospitality and hotel management schools in the world, by CEOWorld magazine. The college, which is less than 20 years old, ranked fifth for 2021, among colleges and universities that have been in existence for more than 50 years, such as Switzerland’s Ecole hoteliere de Lausanne and the School of Hotel Administration at Cornell University, which ranked No. 1 and No. 2, respectively.
“Rosen College has consistently proven that its culture of global hospitality education, integrated curriculum and industry partnerships makes it a top choice for educating the future leaders of the hospitality industry,” says Youcheng Wang, dean of the college. “We are extremely proud to hold the honored position of being one of the top programs in the world.”

Located in the heart of hospitality in Orlando, Florida, Rosen College excels in teaching, research and scholarship.

The college offers five bachelor’s degree programs, five undergraduate certificate programs, three master’s degree programs and one Ph.D. program.
