Recommendations from the Director
Year One
Take OBHR 3330 Introduction to Human Resource Management during your first year. Taking this course can help you determine if Human Resources is the right career path for you. This course has no pre-requisites but is the pre-requisite for all other HR core courses.
Years Two and Three
Complete the required HRM core courses during your sophomore and junior years. This will help ensure that you are well-grounded in the basics of HRM before you begin your internship (which is typically completed in the summer between the junior and senior year).
Year Four
Take the HRM Capstone course and HRM electives your senior year. As the Capstone course ties all the components of HRM together, it is important that the core courses have been completed. Similarly, for those wishing to take the SHRM CP exam, take the preparation course, OBHR 4361, as an elective the semester before sitting for the exam. Other HR-related electives are also available (e.g., Labor Relations, HR Analytics).
