Graduate Certificate in Human Resource Management
Our graduate certificate in HR management (HRM) is designed for professionals who are exploring new career options in HR, HR professionals seeking professional development to expand their current knowledge, and students who want to explore graduate study or may not be ready to make a full commitment to our Master of HRM program (MHRM).
Our program covers theory, research, knowledge and procedures used by HR executives. Courses address emerging disciplines such as HR information systems and leadership theory along with globalization and workforce diversity.
With small class sizes (the average is 12-15 students) and adjunct professors who are themselves working professionals in the HR sector, our HRM classes provide opportunities to study cutting-edge theory and to apply that theory in real-world settings — sometimes even the next day at work.
MHRM and HRM graduate certificate students study together in certificate classes, providing rich opportunities to learn from peers who are currently working in the HR sector.
Successful certificate graduates will be able to apply coursework toward the MHRM, if desired.
The graduate certificate requires 18 semester hours of graduate coursework. No transfer work is accepted into the certificate.
