Human Resource Management
The Human Resource (HR) Management Program is
designed for students whose career objectives encompass
the field of human resources. From its early beginnings
as a staff function involving the maintenance of records
and the administration of benefit programs, personnel
administration has grown and expanded to encompass
the total development and utilization of human resources
in organizations. While company titles may vary from
vice president of strategic human resources to vice
president for organization planning and development,
there are few firms of any size or consequence today
that do not have a human resources specialist reporting
directly to the company’s highest level. This practice
reflects the awareness that its human resources are an
organization’s greatest asset.
For this reason, the curriculum is designed to acquaint
the student with modern human resources management
in its broadest sense. Included are the traditional
areas of HR administration and labor relations such
as employment, management development, wage and
salary administration, organization planning, and
contract negotiations, as well as developments in the
behavioral sciences and the implications for a complete
human resources program.
The objectives at the undergraduate level are to provide
the student with a broad spectrum of knowledge for
career preparation in organizational leadership; to
prepare the student for a career in modern, professional
human resources management; and to encourage and
develop interest in further study and research in the
area of human resources development and utilization.
An internship is required to allow the student to fully
embody the role of a human resource professional.
