Labour Studies (with Major) (BA) and Niagara College

Labour Studies - Niagara College

This program involves courses offered through Brock University and Niagara College Canada. This four year program combines courses and training in applied labour studies settings at Niagara College with a degree at Brock. The program caters to individuals who wish to have a career in a wide variety of areas including unionized workplaces, occupational health and safety, politics, labour relations, or human resources. The program allows students to gain both solid applied skills in these areas, and a strong theoretical knowledge about a variety of these topics. Students who successfully complete the requirements for this program will be granted both a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) Labour Studies (either single or co-major) and a Graduate Certificate in Human Resources Management from Niagara College. Gaining both a degree and this certificate would ordinarily involve attending college after gaining a university degree, but the Brock and Niagara program combines the two in a single integrated package that can be completed in four years. Applicants must have a minimum 70 percent overall average to be considered for admission to the program. Completion of the Brock Leadership Skills Certificate programs is considered an asset. Successful applicants must maintain a minimum 70 percent overall average during Year 2 and meet other program requirements to continue in the program. Enrolment in this program is limited. Admission to the program is not guaranteed by attainment of the minimum requirements. Please contact Labour Studies Academic Advisor for further details or to apply.
