For over fifty years, we have built one of the premiere graduate programs in Labor Studies in the United States. With a near 100% placement record, our graduates join over 1,000 alumni in key positions in the labor movement and other social justice organizations. Beginning in fall 2017, students can complete the program with only one year of residency. The Labor Center is now also accepting applications for our new 4+1 track that allows undergraduate students to begin their graduate studies in their 4th year and complete their degree with only one additional year of residency.
