Human Resource Management
This program is designed for students whose career objectives lie in the field of personnel management. The curriculum in human resource management is designed to acquaint the student with modern personnel management in its broadest sense. Included are both the traditional areas of personnel administration and labor relations (such as employment, management development, wage and salary administration, organizational planning, and contract negotiation) and developments in the behavioral sciences with implications for a complete human resource management program. Students are provided with the broad spectrum of knowledge they need for a career in organizational leadership or human resource management, and to encourage and develop interest in further study and research in this area.
