Credit toward a labor studies and employment relations major may be obtained by independent study. Under most circumstances, the number of independent study credits will not exceed 3 in a single semester. Additional credits would require approval from the program director.
Typically, independent studies culminate in the requirement of a final paper designed by both the student and the faculty sponsor. Students interested in pursuing an independent study are encouraged to contact faculty members with whom they would like to work. Under most circumstances, independent studies will not be granted to students who are neither labor studies and employment relations majors nor minors.
