Stand Out with Professional Certification
The UT Dallas Bachelor’s in Human Resource Management program is recognized as aligning with curriculum guidelines established by the leading global professional HR association. As part of this alignment, students completing this degree are eligible to take exams through either the Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM) or the Human Resources Certification Institute (HRCI.) The SHRM certification is the Certified Professional (CP) exam. The HRCI certification is the Associate Professional in Human Resources (aPHR) exam.
To enable students, UT Dallas offers a certification preparation course as an elective. Graduates may complete their degree with the opportunity to earn one or both professional certifications. This can provide an additional competitive edge in the job market.

Do Conferences Help Your Career?
The first time I attended the HR Southwest Conference, I made a point to attend as many educational sessions as possible. Some were very beneficial in giving real-world information about certain subjects such as upcoming laws related to employment and relevant changes in legislation.
