The Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in Human Resource Management has been developed to meet the educational needs of non-traditional students returning to college to complete a degree at times convenient to their busy schedules. This unique program features cohort-based instruction aimed at individuals over 23 years of age who have at least two years of college credit.
The student typically will have completed a minimum of 40 credit hours of college credit before commencement of professional course work. Exceptions to these criteria are made on a case-by-case basis as judged by a program admissions committee. The modular sequence of the upper-level courses recognizes the needs and characteristics of adult learners while emphasizing themes such as problem solving, critical thinking, self-analysis, communication and ethical decision-making.
Specifically this program is designed to prepare Human Resource professionals who must deal with constant change and frequent conflict. Today’s HRM professionals must not only respond to the challenge of recruiting and retaining talent, they must also understand federal, state, and local regulations while showing an ability to handle the behavioral dynamics of the workplace. The Human Resource Management profession is one of the most challenging in the modern business world. It is an excellent career choice for those skilled in working with others. The profession will have a critical role in the future in helping people adapt to the increasingly high-tech, global, multi-cultural and team-oriented nature of the workplace.
Requirements for Entrance into the Program
- Students should have completed between a minimum of 40 credit hours of college work
