As interns, students learn the inner workings of organized labor while they make a contribution to the important work unions do. In the classroom, students analyze the experience they are gaining in the field, by studying the U.S. Labor Movement past and present. Students will earn 16 undergraduate credits OR 12 graduate credits and a Certificate in Labor Studies from the School of Professional Studies (SPS) at the City University of New York (CUNY).
