Management, B.S. Human Resource Management Track Curriculum Guide (Suggested 4-Year Plan of Study)
Human resource management (HRM) involves the strategic management of employees who, individually and collectively, contribute to the attainment of the strategic objectives of the organization. HRM enables the organization to achieve its strategic goals by attracting, developing, motivating and retaining its employees, and by functioning as the mediator between the organization’s management and its employees. As organizations have increasingly realized the impact that the human resources function can have on the bottom line, HR has become an essential and growing field within organizations. Accordingly, the HR profession is projected by the Department of Labor to continue to grow.
The track requires completion of the professional core and ABLE requirement for a management major, as well as the required and elective courses listed here. Completion of the track prepares graduates to be competitive candidates for entry-level professional HR positions in any organization, both within the private and public sectors, immediately upon graduation. They will also be well-prepared to successfully complete HR certification exams.
