PGCert in Human Resources Management and Services

This 12-credit graduate certificate in HR management is a program for people with a bachelor's degree who want stronger HR credentials but do not wish to pursue a full master's. Students build practical people-management skills for improving organizational performance and learn to give strategic guidance and support to employees and managers. Courses are available online and face to face. The certificate suits both experienced professionals and those starting out in HR. Credits earned can be applied toward the Oakland University MBA. Applicants need a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited institution, an online application, a resume and official transcripts. International applicants without a U.S. degree add a transcript evaluation and English test scores. Questions go to Graduate Business Programs, which also handles requests for program information.
