Bachelor of Business Administration in Human Resource Management

Human resource management professionals help businesses and organizations function effectively by recruiting and selecting the right job candidates, training and developing employees, managing benefits and compensation, and effectively handling employee relations on a day-to-day basis. They do this while maintaining close relationships with employees and management, and promoting an ethical and collaborative environment. The UW-Whitewater Bachelor of Business Administration in Human Resource Management, online or on campus, is one of a select number of programs recognized by the national Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) for fully aligning with SHRM's Curriculum Guidebook and Templates. The HR Curriculum Guidebook and Templates were developed to define the minimum HR content areas that should be studied by HR students at the undergraduate and graduate levels. These guidelines are part of SHRM’s Academic Initiative to define HR education standards taught in university business schools and to help universities develop degree programs that follow these standards. Prospective students who are considering a degree in HR are encouraged to investigate programs that align with the HR Curriculum Guidebook, as these programs offer broad and comprehensive curriculum in HR. Required courses develop knowledge and experience in key HR areas such as staffing, training and development, compensation, benefits, and labor-management relations. Above and beyond a rigorous curriculum and faculty who are recognized for their excellence in research and teaching, students benefit by developing their skills with real-world projects and professional internship experiences.
