The Policy Issues in Work and Pay certificate provides an understanding of, and the ability to evaluate and develop, federal, state, and local policies that affect the employment relationship. Students learn about the role of government in the employment relationship, including statutes, and how employers, unions, and the government interpret and utilize policies. Core courses are drawn from the Humphrey School of Public Affairs as well as the Center for Human Resources and Labor Studies in the Carlson School of Management, with auxiliary courses in law, history, sociology, and applied economics.
The certificate consists of at least 15 credits. Students complete 10 elective credits that allow them to focus on the area of public policy that is most relevant to their professional and educational goals and needs. Some elective courses require prerequisites, which do not count toward the certificate.
