Human Resource Management

The Human Resource (HR) Management Minor prepares business students to successfully recruit, select, train, and develop effective and efficient workforce talent for organizations. Students learn to manage workforce diversity and develop the talents of all staff and team members to improve organizational processes. 

HR managers understand the importance of effectively utilizing human resources for an organization's bottom line. As a result, the human resources manager is a key executive team member.

Additional skills in leadership, negotiations, employment law, and managing global teams prepare students for careers as Human Resource Managers, Talent Acquisition Specialists, Corporate Recruiters, Compensation Analysts, or Benefits Administrators.

Human resources management gives students the skills and knowledge to become proficient practitioners in this leading organizational field. Many students pursue professional certifications from the Society of Human Resources Management (SHRM) to complement their HR minor.

MINOR

A minor must contain 15-18 semester hours of coursework, including at least 9 hours of upper-division courses at the 3000-4000 level. Courses taken to satisfy Core IMPACTS may not be counted toward completion of the minor. Courses taken in the Field of Study may sometimes be used to fulfill minor requirements.
