The Schmidt Labor Research Center offers an undergraduate minor Labor and Employee Relations. The program aims to educate students about the impact of jobs on life and society-- and how we can meaningfully alter that relationship.
This minor draws from every area of social science to examine the practical problems in factories, offices, corporations and labor unions. The curriculum also integrates the socioeconomic forces that make up personnel relationships in the world of blue and white collar employment.
