<p>Hey i was wondering if anyone knows anything about ILR grads going to the financial sector after college. What classes did they take? and is it difficult to get into a finance class as an ILR student?</p>
<p>one of my friends is doing something along those lines. I'm not sure exactly which classes he took, but he's been all over taken some in AEM, some in CAS, and even some in the Johnson school.</p>
<p>Got it, Gomestar, could you describe to me exactly what an ILR student majors in and how it works?</p>
<p>I'm considering transfering to Cornell and studying econ+taking finance classes.
thanks.</p>
<p>well, all ILR students get the degree in ILR. </p>
<p>however, no two ILR degrees are the same. You have a few core classes that took only a semester or two at most to get out of the way, then you can dictate the rest of your schedule with the classes you want. You'll have room for your finance, or org. behavior, or HR, or econ classes, whatever you want really. The type of jobs you get often correlate with your schedule and which classes you've taken.</p>
<p>I had a similar post about this before and I found out ILR is great if you want to get into finance. Just do an eco concentration and take a lot of finance courses in AEM, that will look really good for jobs and business grad schools.</p>
<p>I am deciding between xfering to Stern or ILR. </p>
<p>From what I understand ILR student's are not allowed to take AEM finance, but the HOTEL school finance, which from reading the online course description is nothing like the investing finance. Anyone have any thoughts between the aforementioned schools?</p>
<p>I was told ILR was great for IB students, maybe I'm wrong though</p>
<p>click on the link to the major you would choose and look at the courses you can take at other schools within cornell.</p>
<p>^^^</p>
<p>those are out of college classes that will count as ILR elective credit (you need like 24 credits of ILR elective to graduate). </p>
<p>You'll have plenty of free credits to take other classes, regardless if they count as ILR elective credit or not.</p>
<p>are there any restrictions on those classes (free electives)? How many free elective classes can you take? The website isn't that clear.</p>
<p>yea is there a limit, say you fulfilled your requirement but you want to take this extra class from a certain different school and keep going , woudl that be allowed?</p>
<p>i made a list of how many free electives we get, and it's plenty...you could email me and i could tell you if i find my list...</p>
<p>but take requirements first...</p>
<p>it kind of depends on a few things ... for example, come in with some AP econ and AP bio or english credit, and you've just freed up 4 credits (from each class) in your schedule. </p>
<p>there aren't any limits, as long as you fulfill the requirements for ILR...
1. first you have the required classes (labor econ, intro ob, etc.)
2. then, you have to fill in the distribution requirements, though most of these are already in other schools (ex, a science class, a cultural perspectives class)
3. then, you have free electives, of which a certain percentage have to be approved from ILR (even though they may be taken in other colleges). </p>
<p>the only limit is making sure you've already taken the other requirements and have room. Also, if you take more than like 55 or 60 something credits in the endowed colleges, you have to pay slightly more for each additional class beyond the max. Though, I've never known anybody who's had this problem.</p>
<p>I'm worried that if I transfer, I'll have to retake all the intro classes and then the ILR requirements, and I won't be able to take classes I want (Acct, Finance, Real estate).</p>
<p>that could very well be the case, you'll have to talk to somebody in admissions and they can evaluate your credit situation</p>
