Human Resource Management
The Human Resource Management major was founded over 35 years ago, with a focus on enabling students to pursue high-impact careers in a multitude of strategic Human Resources functions. We have a near-100% placement rate every year, including in highly regarded graduate schools and organizations. Students earn very competitive salaries upon graduation as well ($55,000-$70,000).
We have an intentionally small program, enabling strong connections among students, faculty, and corporate partners. Students learn transferrable skills they can use in any industry and consistently report feeling valued, supported, and well equipped to excel in their careers.

Program Highlight
Why Major in Human Resource Management?
It's a well known dictum that "the people make the place." The Human Resource Management major equips students to become EXPERTS in the PEOPLE side of business, with strong preparation for a clear and prosperous career path in the world of business and beyond. Human resource managers work strategically with organizations to recruit the right talent, motivate them with compensation, and make them even more valuable through training and development.
The HRM major offers students professional development opportunities such as networking events with HR professionals, class consulting projects with real companies, corporate visits, HR guest speakers, and a one-on-one mentoring program pairing students with HR professionals. Students connect through their very own HR student organization, Bears' Association of HR (BAHR). The HRM curriculum fully aligns with the standards set by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM).
