Campus SummaryTOP
In the years following the Great Depression and during World War II, leaders in business, industry, labor, government, and education recognized the growing need for a new kind of school--a place where people could become skilled at dealing with the volatile issues of the changing American workplace. They also recognized that Cornell's double heritage--its creative synthesis of the rigorous intellectual tradition of the Ivy League and the democratic spirit of the great state schools--made this university the ideal home for such a college. In the autumn of 1945 Cornell's School of Industrial and Labor Relations admitted its first students. It was the only institution of its kind anywhere.

Research at the ILR school focuses on some of the most important issues in the workplace: protecting jobs, increasing productivity, computerization, worker participation, expanding and declining labor markets, and new methods of decision making in the human resources field.

Today the ILR school remains the nation's only institution of higher education offering a full four-year undergraduate program in industrial and labor relations; in addition it offers several graduate degree programs. The faculty--specializing in personnel and human resource management, labor law and history, and social statistics--is the largest concentration of distinguished scholars in the field of industrial and labor relations.

The ILR school promotes greater knowledge and expertise in industrial and labor relations through academic programs, research, extension courses, conferences, and publications.
