Students who are labor studies and employment relations majors and are accepted into the program:
- may waive up to 9 credits of graduate work;
- can start their graduate work as undergraduate students by taking up to two graduate-level courses;
- can complete the master's program in one calendar year of full-time study or can expedite completion on a part-time basis.
Students who are interested in this option should speak to the graduate program director as early as possible in their undergraduate studies. The sooner students indicate that they wish to pursue the five-year program, the sooner they can receive advice on how to plan their schedules. Without careful planning, students may have difficulty completing the program in five years.
