Few ares in American business are as critical to the future as human resources management. And that claim makes great sense: with the US economy increasingly dominated by services, rather than old line manufacturing, it's people inside organizations that are firms' greatest assets - and greatest management challenge. So demand is great for college graduates who have the skills, educational background, and passion for managing human resources.

HR management isn't just about working with people, however. It's about establishing effective policies that create safe, productive, comfortable, and ethical working environments. And it's about helping firms create the kinds of incentives necessary to maintain success in competitive global markets.

Why HR Management at Saint Joseph's College?

Personal attention: You will receive the kind of personal attention and guidance in your studies and career search that is unmatched at larger institutions.

Two paths: SJC offers two ways to study human resources management. First, majors in business administration may choose to concentrate in HR by taking four courses (12 credits). Second, non-business majors may choose to minor in human resources management

Internships/Practica: Both the concentration and the minor include a requirement that will payoff directly: You'll be placed in a human resources management environment with an area firm to continue to learn, practice and evaluate.

Strong networking: An extensive alumni network means you are easily connected to professionals. Junior and seniors attend alumni receptions in Indianapolis and Chicago specifically designed to work on networking skills.
