<p>Okay sorry I'm a bit hyper! Anyways, I don't quite understand what ILR is, I mean I know what it stands for, but I dont <italics> really <italics> know what people do, and what these people who are in here do afterwards! Would you clear it up for me? Thanks ahead of time ;)</italics></italics></p>
<p>Oh yes, and why is ILR so concerned with multicultral affairs? (not that I think it's bad, just wondering)</p>
<p>I know someone who goes there for pre-law.</p>
<p>It deals with the forces and interactions in the work place. Labor, collective bargaining, human resources, etc.</p>
<p>ILR is a very diverse curriculum that covers government, law, economics, history, statistics and so forth. In ILR, i study all of these applying the teaching from sociology, psycology and philosophy. It's really difficult to fully explain what ILR is. I chose ILR because i could not decide if i wanted to study economics, history, law, or business. ILR lets me study all of them! It's a very professional school with very driven students. I love it here, and i could not be happier at any other place. </p>
<p>As far as 'multicultural affairs,' ILR is a professional school that looks to improve and educate the leaders of society, if that makes sense. Since the population of the US and the US workforce is so diverse, ILR is making it an issue to educate and celebrate the importance of diversity and understanding. </p>
<p>ILR has fantastic placement rates upon graduation. Roughly a third get a job right from graduation (average salary of $46,000 a year), a third go to business school or pursuit masters/PhD degrees, and the last third goes to law school. If you're interested in law, the ILR school will take you there - we boast the highest acceptance rate for stuents wanting to go to law school. The national average i believe is around 50% - students from the ILR school can rely on a 96% acceptance rate into law school. Cornell university in general has an 88% acceptance rate. Take that Harvard!</p>
<p>Thanks for all that information and for clearing up some issues I had! :D</p>
<p>Is cornell the only place with ILR? Well, thats the only place I've heard of it.</p>
<p>What type of classes are in your schedule? Is there any specific major, or is the major just called ILR?</p>
<p>well, ILR is weird when talking about a major...</p>
<p>The degree is a BSILR - it's a professonal degree (much like a BSARCH for architecture). When you're in ILR, you can choose a particular path to study, whether it's law, human resources, organizational behavior, etc. Technically you could say your major is ILR - but in reality, you're a student at the ILR school who has the option of taking many different courses, unlike an economics major in arts and sciences who has to take "15 classes in the economics department." I think if you wanted to study HR stuff, you would put on a resume, you graduated from the ILR school with classes concentrating in human resources. </p>
<p>Classes cover a range of topics. First year students have a strict schedule. The core classes i believe are labor law, HR, organizational behavior, stats, labor history, maybe a few others. Students also need micro, macro, a science. It seems to change from year to year, so check with the ILR staff or the website for exact details.</p>
<p>also, i believe michigan state has a similar program. It seems like a very specific major, but in reality it's one of the most diverse.</p>
<p>italics is * and then [ /i] but get rid of the space.</p>
