The Human Resource Management major is designed both for students who intend to seek or continue managerial careers in human resources, and for those who are seeking more general leadership positions, but need to understand approaches to attracting, retaining, compensating, motivating and managing employees in contemporary organizations. This program is built around the view that human resource specialists must also have good business acumen to manage an organization’s most valuable assets: Its employees.

Our program provides students a strong foundation in this field. The program teaches students about a wide variety of HR issues. 

This concentration is designed to prepare candidates to assume positions as human resource practitioners in domestic and international business organizations, hospitals, nonprofits organizations, and local, state and federal government agencies.
