PGCert in Human Resources Management and Services

This graduate certificate has 12 credits and is offered online and on campus with some online courses. It prepares students to manage personnel and support employees through their careers. The emphasis falls on the behavior of organizations and on social psychology. Students examine group processes and individual behavior in order to treat personnel as a central institutional resource. Students may pursue the certificate by itself, or together with a graduate degree if their advisor agrees. Admission to the certificate does not automatically open a place in a full graduate program. Students must complete the 12 credit hours with a 3.0 GPA, and they must also take three quarters of the coursework at Park to meet residency rules. A bachelor's degree and a minimum GPA of 2.75 are the entry conditions.
