What is the difference between a direct transfer and an internal transfer?

“I was just wondering if since I don’t want to go into law anymore if it suits me well still. I am not so sure abour HR Management and thus was wondering if I could get an econ degree from aRTS and Sci.”

Take a look at career placement for ILR, HR only represents a small portion. Please don’t think that your career options are either law or HR - it’d be a big mistake.

“It is just that the lack of math and science courses scares me that I won’t get good jobs in business”

Here’s an idea: take some math and science classes at Cornell. Why do you think you can’t? You’re falling into a terrible (but typical trap) of “I have to take exactly X classes or major in Y in order to get the job I want”. My experience tells me this is completely false and any alumni would agree with me. I know an art history major who now works at goldman sachs for cryin’ out loud. Majoring in econ will not open any more doors than ILR will - the only exception might be for a PhD program, but there’s a poster on here who did ILR undergrad and is now at an ultra-prestigious business school for an econ PhD (right out of undergrad).

“I am just scared that I won’t get a job after graduation”

That’s up to you, bro, really. Statistics show ILR places exceptionally well, but the decision to hire isn’t ever going to be “well, did he go to ILR or did he major in econ?” … it’s going to be how well did this kid do, how did he take advantage of what’s available to him, what experience does he have, and how well does he interview.
