Human Resource Management Program

Human Resource Management Option in Management Major, B.A. in Business

If you like working with people and have a penchant for detail, the human resource management option may be right for you. HR managers are responsible for the hiring, training, development and compensation of an organization's employees. They are often involved in strategic planning since, in today's knowledge based economy, people are typically an organization's most valuable resource. Courses in the option include benefits and compensation, staffing/training/development, employment law, and HRM strategy.
