Campus<br />
Cornell is unique among Ivy League Insti tu tions in<br />
that it combines both public and endowed colleges<br />
under the umbrella <strong>of</strong> a major research/land grant<br />
university. It <strong>of</strong>fers the wonderful combination <strong>of</strong> the<br />
democratic spirit <strong>of</strong> public institutions, the intellectual<br />
tradition <strong>of</strong> the Ivy League and the great diversity<br />
and wealth <strong>of</strong> opportunity <strong>of</strong> a vital university. <strong>The</strong><br />
School <strong>of</strong> Industrial and Labor Relations is located<br />
on the main campus in Ithaca where campus life is<br />
both cosmo politan and dynamic.<br />
Admission Requirements<br />
Admission is highly selective, and is based on the<br />

Programs <strong>of</strong> Study<br />
Unique among undergraduate colleges, the School <strong>of</strong><br />
Industrial and Labor Rela tions <strong>of</strong>fers pr<strong>of</strong>essionallevel<br />
coursework that provides a strong social science<br />
foundation for those interested in the “people”<br />
side <strong>of</strong> organ i za tions. Our students have built careers<br />
in a number <strong>of</strong> fields with human interaction as their<br />
basic focus: management, law, collective bargaining,<br />
consulting, public policy, economics and social research.<br />
Employers range from private corporations<br />
to labor unions, governments, and educational<br />
institutions. Prospective students sometimes ask<br />
whether the ILR School is a business program, a<br />
liberal arts program, or a pr<strong>of</strong>essional program. In<br />
fact it is, in its unique way, all <strong>of</strong> those things coordinated<br />
and focused to ad dress a student’s interest<br />
in the social sciences and their application to the<br />
real problems <strong>of</strong> real people. ILR <strong>of</strong>fers courses in<br />
human resource management, collective bargaining,<br />
organizational behavior, labor economics, labor law,<br />
labor history, social statistics, public policy and<br />
international labor relations. In addition to the BS<br />
degree, the school also awards MS, MILR (Master <strong>of</strong><br />
Industrial and Labor Relations), and PhD degrees.<br />
Undergraduate students have a required core <strong>of</strong><br />

four-year veterinary medical curriculum <strong>of</strong> classroom<br />

in our Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital.<br />
Our curriculum is different from those <strong>of</strong> many<br />
other veterinary colleges—it is interdisciplinary,<br />
features tutorial-based learning in the early years,<br />
and focuses on the student as the primary force in<br />
learning. Course material is based on actual clinical<br />
cases selected to highlight biomedical concepts. Our<br />
innovative academic program is supported by state<strong>of</strong>-the-art<br />
teaching, clinical, and research facilities.<br />
