The Human Resource Major provides the practical skills and theory necessary to enter or advance in the human resource department of a medium to large organization. Students prepare for generalist careers helping administer management practices, selection and placement, training and development, compensation and benefits, labor and employee relations, plus health, safety, and security. The topics included on the Professional Human Resource Generalists Certificate Examination are benchmarks used to assure the course offerings are relevant and recognized by employers. In addition, this major gives students the flexibility of a basic business foundation.
