<p>How about some positive ILR talk! Post away.</p>
<p>I have some good reasons.</p>
<p>1) Human Resources is actually a very interesting job and is a lot more than hiring/firing. </p>
<p>2) "I love reading" is really a compliment to the intelligence of ILR students. They read. They think. </p>
<p>3) It's nice to have a context for studies in economics, business, and law.</p>
<p>...there's a lot more, but it's a start. :)</p>
<p>Do most people want to go into HR that are at ILR?</p>
<p>1) Good law school placement
2) Credit-internship program</p>

<p>What does ILR stand for?</p>
<p>ILR stands for "Industrial and Labor Relations". ILR is a way to study business without all of the math and even offers a 5 year MBA/BS program. ILR is interesting and filled with interesting people. I have a friend that went to ILR and she said that every time she is in a meeting and people find out she went to ILR they are impressed - it is the best school of its type in the world. ILR is the study of the work place, or the study of history, or the study of economics - you can work right out of college, or go to law school or get your MBA. ILR is unique in the Ivy League and presents a great opportunity to learn interesting, practical things.</p>
<p>That is really interesting, thanks for the answer!</p>
<p>they accepted me? lol jk it offers gr8 business and law options.</p>
<p>Since an enthusiastic "everything!" probably isn't a great answer, I can be a little more specific in saying that ILR boasts an incomparable focus on undergrads. ILR's fifty faculty members, many of whom are world-renowned experts in their fields, care so much more about their students than most profs at other large research universities. All of the professors I have met are passionate about their work, satisfied and fulfilled at Cornell (some have been teaching together in ILR for 20+ years,) and very accessible. I'm always telling people that I've never really heard a story about a "bad" ILR prof (most of the comparisons you hear about are based on how easy/hard their classes are.) </p>
<p>In addition to faculty who truly want you to succeed, ILR's Office of Student Services and Office of Career Services are top-notch and very hard to find at other schools. Advising is fantastic.</p>
<p>I found Labor issues especially fascinating and wanted to learn the objective study the issue on both American and international basis.
When i found the ILR college on Cornell website, I thought spending four years on that college would be far better, more interesting than receiving undecided, broad education on social sciences.</p>

<p>Is this true?? MBA? or do you mean MS? --> ILR</a> Graduate Degree Programs: MS Degree Track for BS</p>
<p>It's a dual degree program. It's limited, and apparently very few are admitted, but it does exist!</p>
