Labour Studies (Online)

Labour Studies is an interdisciplinary program that assesses the place of labour and working people in society. Courses draw on history, sociology, political economy, women's studies, industrial relations and other fields. This program will be of particular interest to trade union leaders and members. Course offerings include labour history, work organization, women and unions, and the theory and practice of trade unions. Athabasca University’s Labour Studies program is the only program of its kind in Canada that is available entirely via distance education. The Bachelor of Arts strengthens critical and creative thinking through a broad range of social, political and cultural studies.
