The Human Resources Management Major is designed to prepare students for rewarding and exciting human resources careers within the corporate and public sectors.
Human resources managers are on the competitive edge. From the initial task of hiring the most qualified candidates to encouraging employee development and productivity, human resources managers emerged in the 1990s as respected and integral members of the management team. Increasingly, human resources managers are playing a strategic role in helping organizations achieve their objectives and compete in today’s highly competitive business environment.
The Human Resources Management graduate will be able to focus on the essential human resource issues that are challenging today’s organizations. Through a combination of theoretical and practical studies, graduates will achieve a fundamental understanding of staffing, training and development, employee relations, labor unions, compensation management, EEO/Affirmative Action and other legal aspects of employment, employee and organization development, diversity in the workplace and human resources strategies.
Students are encouraged to participate in the Franklin University Human Resources Society, a student chapter dedicated to enhancing the professional development of its membership. The society brings experienced human resources professionals to campus and encourages attendance at local and national human resources conferences and seminars.
Graduates of the Human Resources Management Major will: • Synthesize human resource concepts, principles, and theories for application to realistic workplace scenarios
• Apply concepts and theories of compensation to realistic organizational situations
• Apply concepts and theories of training and development to realistic organizational situations
• Apply staffing concepts and theories to realistic organizational situations
