About the program
The Labor Studies Certificate Program will give current and future union leaders, representatives and activists, the background and skills they need to confront the changing workplace and economy. With a grounding in history, political science, law and economics, you will develop analysis, leadership and organizing skills that will put you on an equal footing with your counterparts in the corporate and political world. By participating in the program, you will earn 18 credit hours toward a degree and receive upon completion a Certificate in Labor Studies verifying your expertise.
Six courses, three credit hours each, will be offered. There will be two per semester, all at convenient times and locations for working people. Courses will be offered through the University of Missouri Video Network as live, two-way interactive video. At some courses, you'll have a teacher in your classroom; at others, the teacher will be on another campus teaching through a two-way television hookup. You may attend classes at the campus closest to you.
Classes will be participatory and will take advantage of new technology to bring students from across the state of Missouri to share experiences and discuss solutions to common problems.
