<p>For all intensive purposes, is the ILR School essentially a business school? (i.e. What school is Bloomberg referring to when it puts Cornell at #5 on top 100 undergraduate business schools of 2010?) I know I am oversimplifying itbut is the ILR School where the majority of recruiting for IB etc. goes on?</p>
<p>I believe bloomberg is referring to the hotel school.</p>
<p>that’s the AEM school</p>
<p>The ILR program is in many ways a prelaw program. I think a lot of people also end up going into HR as well. </p>
<p>My friend was telling me that some crazy number of HR heads in fortune 500 companies are ILR alumns. </p>
<p>In general, if you know you want to business, you should apply for either AEM in CALS or to the hotel school (the former for a more business/econ focus, the latter for more of a hospitality/ service focus).</p>
<p>AEM is the business school
ILR is kinda prelaw</p>
<p>When Bloomberg refers to Cornell as #5 on the top 100 undergraduate schools (never saw this), it’s referring to the Dyson School in the College of Agriculture & Life Sciences, where the undergraduate business major is (formerly called AEM, for Applied Economics & Management).</p>
<p>ILR will also provide you with a strong business background, with an emphasis on management and personnel issues. Although many ILR grads do go to law school, many go on to careers on Wall Street or into consulting (as well as into HR, unions, etc.).</p>
<p>Hotel School will also provide you with a business education, but with an emphasis on the hospitality industry. Although the majority of grads wind up in hospitality, many also find themselves on Wall Street and in the real estate industry as well.</p>
