Our diverse student body includes working adults and an increasing number of traditional- aged students. They come from many walks of life, but virtually all are motivated by a commitment to public service and social justice.

The School of Labor and Urban Studies has a faculty that includes some of the most distinguished social science scholars in the nation. Between them, they have published over 85  books, research studies, and important essays.
