UMass Amherst
This concentration is aimed at teaching students the various elements of Human Resource Management. Students who are interested in a career in HR need a stronger background in the content of HR than they did in the past. In addition, many organizations now require their HR people to hold some type of certification for advancement. The concentration of both required and elective courses will supply students the content (e.g., staffing, compensation, labor relations) and skills (e.g., interpersonal skills) necessary not only to obtain a job in Human Resource Management, but also to advance within their organization.
