Human Resource Management Specialization - Organizational Management, Bachelor of Applied Science

Students can only select one major and one specialization. Students may receive a specific A.S./B.A.S. degree only one time. While students may take courses from multiple specializations, however, the degree will be awarded only once. 

The BAS Organizational Management Human Resource program is designed to prepare students for roles as human resource specialists, compensation and benefits administrators, trainers and succession planners, as well as corporate recruiters. Students can also expect to complete coursework and projects in alignment with the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) certifications: SHRM Certified Professional (SHRM-CP) and SHRM Senior Certified Professional (SHRM-SCP). These certifications may require additional assessments by an outside agency and confirmation of an active, current role in the human resources field. Visit the program page for more details and how to apply.
