Bachelor of Business Administration [B.B.A] [Management, Human Resource Management] From University of Wisconsin

This emphasis is structured to prepare students for careers in HRM immediately upon graduation or shortly thereafter. Historically, “personnel departments” were primarily administrative in scope. Today, there is tremendous complexity, diversity, and sophistication confronting managers of human resources. Most corporations require highly skilled professionals who have been academically trained in the areas of HRM. Corporations now are looking to the “human resource function” as a strategic partner in executive decision making. 

The HRM emphasis will prepare students in the following areas: staffing (recruitment and selection), training and development, labor relations, compensation and benefits, employee relations, organizational change, and relevant legal concerns. Special focus will be directed at the changing demographic composition of employees and Workforce 2000 issues. Students are encouraged to take additional written and oral communication courses. Students will be required to study for and take the Society for Human Resource Management Certification Test.
