The Labor Studies Program is offered through he Rutgers University School of Arts and Sciences (New Brunswick) at the Rutgers – Brookdale partnership program in Freehold.

The undergraduate labor studies program aims to provide students with an opportunity to learn more about the nature of work, the problems of working people, and what workers have done, both individually and collectively, to address those problems. Its introductory courses offer anyone interested in the world of work the opportunity to develop a realistic view of dominant institutions, practices, and values of the workforce and to think about how the work world can change to meet the challenges of the new century.

The Labor Studies program operates under the academic jurisdiction of the School of Arts and Sciences in conjunction with the Rutgers School of Management and Labor Relations.

Students with an earned associate's degree from any accredited community college are also eligible to apply to the Labor Studies program.
