Concentration in Human Resource Management
All organizations experience the need to manage human resources effectively. Those
organizations that effectively deal with human resources issues and challenges are
likely to outperform those that do not. Additionally, the increased number and complexity
of legal issues and governmental regulations relative to the human resource function
have served to dramatically increase both the size and importance of many organizations’
human resource departments. The Human Resource Management concentration provides specialized
training for students who are interested in pursuing careers in personnel management.
Specifically, it provides basic preparation for entry-level positions in human resource
management, along with an education background that prepares students for human resource
manager certification and career advancement in the field.
