The School of Labor and Employment Relations offers a Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degree in two exciting areas of study.

Labor and Human Resources

In the fall 2019 semester, the Labor and Employment Relations (LER) major changed its name to Labor and Human Resources (LHR). Both LER and LHR majors are now working toward completing their degrees, but going forward, all new majors will be admitted as LHR. This change was introduced to reflect students’ growing interest in the field of human resource management alongside a traditional interest in labor and employment relations topics.

The Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees in Labor and Human Resources allow students to study the work from a range of perspectives. The degrees provide opportunities to learn about the ways in which organizations structure the recruitment and selection, talent management and development, human resource management, as well as compensation and benefits organizations use to recruit and retain employees. Employment law provides an intense study of the statutes, regulations and legal decisions that govern the work. Students are also able to study the history of labor organizations created to represent workers, and the current law governing labor and management relations. And throughout the programs, students have the opportunity to understand work in the context of the global economy and the types of issues that emerge related to global workers’ rights.

Organizational Leadership

Every occupation in every industry requires managers and supervisors with exceptional leadership skills. Whether working as first-line supervisors in healthcare, middle managers in industry, or program coordinators in government (or in comparable positions in any other field), incumbents must exhibit leadership that inspires stakeholders to achieve desired organizational objectives. To achieve these objectives, employers are looking for individuals who exhibit strengths in ethical thinking, problem-solving, teamwork, critical thinking, sound judgment, decision making, listening, and conflict management. The rapidly growing global environment requires those skills to be applicable to diverse situations throughout the world. An education in organizational leadership can provide a range of perspectives to prepare you for the complex social, cultural and professional issues that you will encounter in modern leadership positions.
