| Bachelor Degrees Programs in Labr Studies
SFSU - BA in Labor Studies from San Francisco State University: The Labor Studies major is organized into four tiers. The first tier, provides a basic introduction to the field, including the range of topics and ways of studying those topics through the use of social science concepts and methodologies. The second tier builds upon this foundation in four areas: labor economics, labor and government, organizational theory and practice, and labor's relation to the larger society. The third tier, which is elective in nature, provides a way for the Labor Studies major to focus upon those areas of knowledge and skill directly related to his/her vocational objectives. The final tier, usually taken in the final semester before graduation, provides a career development seminar, vocationally-related internship, or field experience.
***Students transferring from community colleges with work in labor studies may offer up to twelve units of lower division course work in labor studies toward the Tier III requirements.
NLC - The National Labor College: The NLC offers a simplified classroom schedule. B.A. students do a portion of work online, with on-campus instruction required for one-week during every semester.
