<p>I was wondering about the type of person or people composed in this school at Cornell. I am thinking about adding Cornell to my list of potential transfer schools. The interdisciplinary approach in the IRL school suits my mind. I tend to prefer the humanities, history and philosophy, but I also understand in today’s world, one has to have hard abilities. I like the IRL school’s combination of all the social sciences and a bit of the humanities. Can anyone further elaborate on this school and the students that seem to thrive in the environment it provides?</p>
<p>I believe you mean ILR?</p>
<p>Yes, excuse my mistake. Cornell has a lot of academic paths that hold acronyms I am not used to. I should have just said Industrial and Labor Relations. I was thinking Industrial relations and Labor. In today’s market, there are countless political science, philosophy, psychology, and other majors. I mean, quite simply, who are we going to expect to make our houses that we expect to have after receiving the supposed job college helps us get and such when this society is driving all kids to college. Seems like a car speeding towards a solid brick wall. I feel the ILR gives a very practical set of skills without sacrificing the academic or pursuit of knowledge one usually is given within a liberal arts education. Agree? Disagree? Any elaborations?</p>
<p>It’s definitely a flexible degree that one can mold into any social science, business, or even applied math degree if you take the right courses.</p>
