<p>I know that I want to go to Cornell for sure since it has both ILR and Hotel Management school.
But I really don't know what to choose between them.
I kinda want to go to ILR becuase I want to be a sports agent but I also want to be involved in hotel management.
Which one would be hard to be accepted?
And if I graduate I ILR, is there a good job placement?
What do people do after graduating ILR?<br>
Is it easy to transfer major in Cornell?</p>
<p>Generally speaking, hotel management is easier to get into in the sense that admitted students have lower SATs and class rank. However, I think most admits have impressive resumes related to the major.</p>
<p>Hi -Cornell mom here!! I have one d in ILR program and my other d will be starting Cortland as a Sports Management Major- so I do know a bit of info about both areas. Somehow, I think it is going to be tough doing a "sports Management track" at Cornell. I don't say its impossible- but I just do not see ILR or Hotel going in that direction. Hotel management of course is more doable as an area of study at Cornell. Now you are right by Ithaca College which happens to have a good sports management porgram, so it may be worth a shot of looking to see if Cornell allows you to take some courses there.<br>
There are colleges that have programs where sports management and hospitality are in the same division. This includes NYU which has Hospitality, Tourism and Sports Management Major and Clemson which has its Dept of Parks- Recreation and Tourism Management. U Mich and Rice have sports management programs but I do not think it is linked to a Tourism/Hospitality program they way NYU has one.
For info about sports management, check out Nassm.com (National assoc. of sports management--) Click on sports management programs and USA. They list lots of programs throughout the country.
If you want to be an agent, you can probably go the ILR Law School route- and just try to get a job in the field. Being an agent can probably be done without doing a formal Sport Mang program too. A lot of the formal sports management programs emphasis marketing, communication, stadium management and other areas of expertise which you may not need if your goal is to be a sports agent. Good luck.</p>
<p>Its not hard at all to do the sports management track from ILR. ILR even has a sports management club whose members host discussions about various offerings in the field. Many ILR alums are in the sports management field (such as the head of the NHL who comes back pretty often) so you should be able to make great connections. If you decide to go to ILR you can always take hotel management classes (although the amount you can take would be limited). Also, its fairly easy to switch between the two. Just apply to the only that you are most suited for and feel them both out once you get there. Also, if you don't have considerable work experience you should choose ILR over Hotel to improve your chances.</p>
