Potential Career Paths
The Labor Studies program provides students with knowledge about issues related to work, workers, and employment relationships. The major aims to provide students with an opportunity to learn more about the nature of work, the management of work, the problems of working people, and what workers have done, both individually and collectively, to address those problems. Therefore, students can pursue career paths in a variety of fields such as: Diversity Specialist, Public Policy Advocacy, Mediator or Arbitrator, Labor Standards Certification Specialist, Researcher, or Human Resources Specialist.
