The Department of Labor Studies (LS) curriculum is formulated on our vision of being the leading collaborative program in labor and work issues in interdisciplinary scholarship, education, training, and empowerment nationally and internationally. Focusing on the rapidly changing conditions of work within a national and global perspective, the LS department prepares students to respond to the challenges faced by labor institutions and strengthen the qualities of the workforce.
LS degree graduates are prepared to assume leadership roles in the workplace and in communities and are well rounded critical thinkers trained with a liberal arts foundation to value the well-being of workers, working people, and their organizations through skills and knowledge to support, strengthen, advocate, and promote the history and developments of the labor movement locally and globally with an emphasis on social and economic justice.
