Human Resource Management Program Requirements

The Human Resource Management Major provides knowledge in the technical areas of Employment Law, Staffing and Development, Compensation, and Human Resource Strategy. This curriculum aligns with the Society for Human Resource Management recommended course of study. Understanding of the overall organizational strategy and business environments is accompanied by experience in the application of current Human Resource business practices. This knowledge and skill base prepares students to work in both large corporations and small entrepreneurial firms. The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) has identified the curriculum at Baldwin-Wallace College as aligning with their professional guidelines and requirements. Our curriculum is approved by the Human Resources Certification Institute (HRCI). All for-credit human resources credit, both undergraduate and graduate, is acceptable for HRCI continuing education.

Special Note: A course taken as an elective for a BUS major cannot be used as an elective to satisfy the requirements of another BUS major or minor.
