Human Resources is a major within the Bachelor of Commerce degree offered by the Edwards School of Business at the University of Saskatchewan's Saskatoon campus, comprising 120 credit units over four years, with degree requirements to be completed within ten years of initial admission. The first two years cover foundational business courses in organizational behaviour, business communications, and decision-making shared across Edwards School majors. Students apply to specialize in Human Resources ahead of their third year, when entry to the major is based on academic performance. The major itself requires 24 credit units of specialized coursework, including required courses in organizational behaviour, compensation and benefits, employee relations, and labour law, plus 18 credit units of free senior electives. The fourth year includes a capstone course and further HR-focused electives. The program suits students interested in organizational management, employee development, and workplace relations who want a business degree with a human resources specialization. It prepares graduates for careers in human resources functions such as recruitment, compensation, labour relations, and organizational development within businesses and other employers.

Start Date:January, May and September
Application Deadline:The University of Saskatchewan does not publish fixed general application deadlines for its direct-entry undergraduate colleges (Agriculture and Bioresources, Arts and Science, Education, Edwards School of Business, Engineering, Kinesiology, Dental Hygiene, Dental Therapy): admission requirements and deadlines for the 2027-28 cycle become available only once applications open on 25 September 2026, and the site gives no separate international closing date. Non-direct professional programs set their own dates instead: for September 2027 entry, the College of Law's JD opens 15 October 2026 with rolling review to a 1 February 2027 documents deadline and is not currently accepting international applicants; the College of Medicine's MD applications close 1 October 2026 for domestic (Canadian citizen/PR) applicants only; and the Nutrition program's single deadline is 15 March 2027 for both domestic and international applicants, with no late applications considered. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
