Human Resource Management Minor
Coordinator:
Alvin Gibson
This minor provides a structure within which students gain an exposure to the study of human relations in organizations. Students will learn various ways of how people can work effectively to achieve overall organizational goals as well as fulfill personal goals while understanding the legal parameters that surround these issues. Although none of the courses have pre-requisites and therefore are open to all majors on campus, it is highly recommended that BUS 215 (Business Law) and BUS 249 (Principles of Management) be taken first, as BUS 321 (Human Resource Management and Law) is the culminating course that combines all the material from the other classes.
Minor Requirements
The minor requires a minimum of 16 credit hours (four courses). Students should consult with the coordinator to select an appropriate elective that will serve as a focus course for the minor.
