UMass Amherst Labor Center has opened applications for their new, accelerated master's degree in Labor Studies

3/26/2017

 

The UMass Amherst Labor Center is accepting applications for our new, accelerated master’s degree in Labor Studies. Beginning in Fall 2017, students can complete the program with only one year of residency. 

For over fifty years, we have built one of the premiere graduate programs in Labor Studies in the United States. With a near 100% placement record, our graduates join over 1,000 alumni in key positions in the labor movement and other social justice organizations.

We are delighted to report that the overwhelming support by our allies has strengthened our program and we are now fortunate to offer up to 10 teaching assistantships and internships for the Fall. These positions cover tuition costs and provide a stipend. Students with assistantships and internships are members of the Graduate Employees Organization (GEO), a union affiliated with the United Auto Workers (UAW) Local 2322.

Earning your master’s degree in Labor Studies at the UMass Labor Center puts you right at the center of the issues and debates around labor, work, and social justice. Labor is changing. As the attacks on labor have intensified, unions have been taking bold new directions. They have also combined efforts with a wide variety of alt-labor organizations, building strong connections with new social movements in broad-based coalitions for justice.

Become one of our graduates who is at the forefront of many of these exciting developments to build justice and dignity in the workplace and the community, here and abroad.
We would appreciate if you could circulate this message widely and help us to find the next group of activists for our incoming class in September.

More information on the program is available at www.umass.edu/lrrc/graduate, or you may contact me directly at juravich@lrrc.umass.edu or 413-545-5986.
​
Thank you,
Tom Juravich, Interim Director
UMass Labor Center
University of Massachusetts Amherst
