In order to major in this multidisciplinary course of study, students must take 36 credits of labor studies and employment relations courses with a grade of C or better as part of the total 120 credits required to graduate from Rutgers. These courses must include one of the Introduction to Labor Studies and Employment Relations classes (but not both), Perspectives on Labor Studies and Employment Relations, and one "capstone course" consisting either of the Senior Seminar, an independent study or an internship related to the field.
Students may be conditionally admitted once they complete the application. They then receive the full range of advising and support services offered by the School.
The full admission decision is based on a one-page statement regarding why the applicant wishes to be a labor studies major and on their academic record in the introduction to labor studies course and the university as a whole. |
