Every organization of every size—from corporations to nonprofits—needs innovative professionals to help it to attract, support, and manage its most valuable resource—the people who will make it be successful. In the Human Resource Management program, you will gain the knowledge and skills to become a Human Resource Management (HRM) professional with expertise in employment law, workplace diversity, and HR analytics. Through classroom learning and hands-on experiences in the field, WNE graduates become skilled as strategic business partners capable of solving organizational problems from their first job throughout their careers.
Why Choose Human Resource Management?
At WNE, we help our students develop an entrepreneurial mindset in their approach to the work they do in business. In HR, that means, we encourage you to be creative and innovative as you build upon your foundational understanding of business functions and as you pursue program-specific coursework related to employment law, recruitment, employee performance, compensation and benefits, and diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace. We also help you to develop as a principled leader, whose decision-making is informed both by technology and an understanding of the sensitivity and interpersonal communication skills essential to this success in this rewarding field.
What Will You Study?
Human Resource Management is a vast field with many pathways for you to pursue. To help you find what’s right for you, each year your professors will guide you through activities from career exploration to implementation. Here’s how it works: Freshman year is all about career exploration as you take the Introduction to Business Seminar. As a sophomore, it’s on to Career Investigation, where you will study Management and Organizational Behavior or the honors course Managing People and Processes and gain an in-depth look at HRM career opportunities. Junior year, you will dig deeper into HRM-specific coursework like Performance Management and HR Analytics and field test your career path through an internship. Senior year you implement what you learn through participation in the “RealTest” Assessment Exercise as part of your senior capstone course and work with the Delbridge Center on job search strategies.
