Effective Spring 2009, the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) confirmed that our HRM degree program is in full alignment with the SHRM HR Curriculum guidelines. Our program meets the core HR topics, as well as elective HR topics determined by the SHRM that ensures universities are offering curricula that prepares HR professionals for the workplace.
Program Purpose
The objective of the Bachelor of Science degree program in Human Resource Management is to allow students to develop skills that will enable them to gain entry into the field of human resource management. The program includes a general overview of human resource planning, staffing, compensation and benefits, employee/labor relations, and training and development.
Program of Study
The Human Resource Management program combines a significant business management component with an emphasis on developing strong human resource, managerial, and organizational knowledge, skills, and abilities. In addition, students will explore behavioral approaches to deal with organizational and managerial situations. The general education requirements provide a well-rounded academic foundation for the Human Resource Management degree program.
Cooperative Learning Experiences
Cooperative learning experiences (co-ops) are available in the Human Resource Management program for HRM 305 Staffing Organizations and HRM 310 Organizational Development. Depending on the co-op experience available and the student’s course completion schedule, other courses such as BBM 301 Organizational Behavior may also be completed as co-ops. Elective courses may also be structured as co-ops. Each co-op experience is expected to last for two consecutive semesters and earn the student six credits (three credits per semester/class) toward their 120-credit degree.
To be eligible for the co-op the student must have completed 60 credits and have a minimum 2.5 GPA. The student must contact the office of Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) one semester before they would like to begin a co-op assignment. Once an opportunity description is secured, the WIL office will seek credit approval of the experience from the Human Resource Management Program Chair.
