BA/BS in Human Resources Management and Services

The human resource management major prepares students for careers that support people at work, from recruitment and retention to ongoing development. It aims to give graduates the technical skills to help colleagues become more productive and satisfied. The curriculum combines foundational human resources and psychology courses with two courses on human resource information systems, giving practical exposure to designing and running such systems. Students can study on the Oakland campus or online, finish in three years through a plan that uses summer online courses, or begin graduate courses early through an accelerated option after the sophomore year. Up to 90 transfer credits are accepted. The degree draws on faculty from the business and accounting department, and the page notes a positive job growth outlook for human resource managers across many industries.
