Program Guide

Human Resources Management

The Human Resource Management major is designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills required to effectively staff and maintain the workforce of organizations. Beginning with a discussion of human behavior, the HRM major emphasizes the impact of such practices as staffing, compensation, training, and benefits on organizational effectiveness. Special emphasis is placed on analysis and development of change strategies designed to improve individual and organizational performance. Legal and ethical concerns in the treatment of employees are also thoroughly reviewed.
