Cert in Human Resources Management and Services

The human resource management certificate is offered through the management area of the Barton School. It introduces students to the knowledge and skills needed to lead people within today's organizations, including the practices that shape hiring, development, and retention. Completion requires nine credit hours, including two elective courses. Students must maintain a minimum average across the certificate courses, and no grade below a C counts toward completion. New students apply as open admission students, and current students may elect the certificate within their program. Students learn about recruitment, employee development, and workplace policy, which prepare them to contribute to organizational effectiveness in many kinds of employers. The certificate complements a wide range of degrees because its skills apply across many organizations.
