The Human Resource Management concentration is designed to equip students with the necessary tools to enter an HR career in a variety of business settings. If you are interested in interacting with people daily and are a successful problem solver, you may enjoy studying human resource management.
Every organization wants to attract, motivate, and keep qualified employees. Human resource managers help make this happen. They work with multiple department managers to implement sound HR practices. They oversee the recruiting, interviewing, and hiring of new staff. They design, organize, and carry out training and development programs and establish best practices for ensuring that employees are treated fairly and compensated appropriately.
Human resource professionals are also often tasked with choosing between benefits vendors, insurance brokers, and investment managers and spend a great deal of time fielding employee questions about pay and benefits such as vacation, medical leave, and retirement packages.
This concentration is available to students in the BBA (Bachelor of Business Administration) and the BAS (Bachelor of Applied Science) degree programs.
The Junior and Senior years of this concentration can be completed on campus or entirely online.
In the Accelerated Bachelor/MBA Program, you will take undergraduate and graduate classes at the same time, substituting some required undergraduate classes with MBA classes. You can take up to 12 of the 36 hours required for the MBA early.
