The labor studies and employment relations program is offered through Rutgers School of Arts and Sciences at the Brookdale Community College Freehold campus at the Western Monmouth Higher Education Center.

The undergraduate labor studies and employment relations program aims to provide students with an opportunity to learn more about the nature of work, the problems of working people, and what workers have done, both individually and collectively, to address those problems. Its introductory courses offer anyone interested in the world of work the opportunity to develop a realistic view of dominant institutions, practices, and values of the workforce and to think about how the work world can change to meet the challenges of the new century.

The labor studies and employment relations program operates under the academic jurisdiction of the School of Arts and Sciences in conjunction with the Rutgers School of Management and Labor Relations.
