Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) - Faculty Program Industrial Relations (54 credits)

The Faculty Program Industrial Relations provides students with a basic knowledge of industrial relations institutions and practices as well as the principal social and economic forces that underlie them. The program is composed of 54 credits of courses drawn from the Departments of Economics and Sociology within the Faculty of Arts and from labour-management relations within the Desautels Faculty of Management
