As part of our ongoing dedication to continuous improvement, we are pleased to announce our B.S. in Human Resource Management degree program has been approved as a SHRM (Society for Human Resource Management)- fully aligned program.

SHRM-alignment brings a similar level of commonality to the HR degree program that is required of AACSB accredited Schools of Business. Student enrolled in the HR Major may be eligible to apply for the SHRM Certified Professional (SHRM-CP) exam during their senior year. Earning your SHRM-CP conveys to potential employers that you have the knowledge and experience to be an effective HR professional and sets you apart in the competitive job market.
