Labour Studies University of Manitoba

Program Description

The Bachelor of Arts - Labour Studies program is a 3-5 year degree program that explains the issues that shape the world: globalization, social and economic equality, power and resistance. Students explore how the workplace has changed, why workers organize, and what ordinary people can do about social injustice. The program grounds theory in practice, with strategies for exercising rights at work, improving working conditions, and getting the respect to which all are entitled. Labour Studies provides essential tools and basic knowledge for teachers, union activists, managers, worker advocates, human resource managers, and all working people. The Department of Labour Studies offers a Co-op education program attached to the Advanced degree option. Students in the co-op program have an amazing opportunity to meet employers, get career support and complete 12-months of paid work experience before graduation.
