Bachelor of Business Administration in Human Resource Management
Program Overview
The BBA in Human Resource Management program is designed considering the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) HR Curriculum (endorsed by AACSB International) in order to be listed as an aligned program. Aligned programs are listed in SHRM's HR Program Directory and graduates of these programs are immediately eligible for a special SHRM student certification (regardless of their work experience).
Following national SHRM standards, our design has the following structure:
- Preparatory Requirements / Common Core Requirements: 42 hours.
- Business Core Requirements: 48 hours.
- HRM Major Requirements: 30 hours. Twenty-four hours are required and cover such topics as foundations of HRM, legal aspects of HRM, compensation and benefits, diversity and inclusion in organizations, training and development, staffing, HR analytics, and the strategic contribution of HR. Six hours will be chosen from a set of electives. Internships and the SHRM CP preparation course are encouraged as electives, but other options will be available for students who may already be practitioners in the field or who are already SHRM CP certified or prefer to take this certification later in their careers.
The program is valuable for a range of candidates:
- First time in college interested in working to enhance employee performance in the workplace
