Bachelor of Liberal Arts - Labor Studies

UMass Lowell's Bachelor in Liberal Arts (BLA) program uses an interdisciplinary approach to learning to equip you to examine complex topics dealing with the environment, poverty, governance, peace and conflict, education and more.

You will select two concentrations (from humanities, social sciences and interdisciplinary disciplines) and take a minimum of six courses in each concentration. Sample concentrations include theatre arts, legal studies and economics (see Approved Concentrations below for a complete list).

You will also choose courses to meet the Interdisciplinary Focus requirement, which ties everything together. Most students take Foundations in Liberal Studies in their sophomore year and Capstone in Liberal Studies in their senior year.

An interdisciplinary concentration in Labor Studies will offer students the opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of work, workers, and their organizations through an interdisciplinary study rooted in the fields of sociology, political science, economics, organizational development, history, and the law. In thinking across disciplinary boundaries, students in the Labor Studies concentration will be able to develop a specialized understanding of the forces that shape the world of work and the ways social and economic inequality, worker action, technological change, and migration impact labor markets today and in the future. This concentration will offer students interested in labor-related topics a robust course of study that lays a foundation for careers in law, organizational development, labor relations, public policy, workforce development, and human services.
