To succeed in the world of business, you must understand its most important component - the people. The ILR School is the world leader in studying the intersection of economic, legal, management, international and historical issues that impact people in every workplace.

Entrepreneurs, top executives, financial analysts, and nonprofit leaders who have graduated from ILR credit their success to our interdisciplinary and applied curriculum. Unique courses not found within many business programs, such as Conflict Resolution, Technological Change at Work, and Managing Creativity are why ILR students stand out to a wide range of employers like Google, Goldman Sachs, Deloitte, and Disney.
