The Department of Management and Human Resource Management
The faculty in the Department of Management and Human Resource Management assist students in achieving their:
- B.S. in Management
- B.S. in Human Resource Management

Why choose a degree in management or human resource management?
The practical skills and breadth of knowledge you obtain through your degree in management or human resource management can prepare you for:
- Entry into or advancement in management or human resource management positions.
- Graduate school
- Entrepreneurship
- Labor relations
- Associate in Arts
- Associate in Science
- Bachelor of Science
- Bachelor of Professional Studies
- Combined B.A./B.S./B.P.S. in Business, Management, and Economics / M.A. in Community and Economic Development
- Combined B.A./B.S./B.P.S. in Business, Management, and Economics / M.B.A. in Business Management
Note: The Associate of Science degree provides a foundation in the core business areas (e.g., accounting, economics, management) as preparation for further study. The Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Professional Studies degrees allow you to develop a full concentration within a business field. The key difference between the two bachelor's degrees is that the B.S. requires more credits in the Liberal Studies component (e.g., humanities, social sciences). The majority of students pursue B.S. degrees, particularly if they are thinking about earning a graduate degree in the future.
Nondegree Students
Taking individual courses as a nondegree student is possible and will offer you the same range of courses and rigorous standards as degree-seeking undergraduate students. Even if you’re not pursuing a degree, you can take courses to prepare for university-level study, stay current in your field, or improve your job skills.
Undergraduate Certificates
We also offer four undergraduate certificate programs:
- Business and Environmental Sustainability
- Manufacturing Management
- Healthcare Management
- Entrepreneurship
Certificate programs help the student develop concentrated knowledge in a chosen area. The certificates can stand alone or be incorporated into a formal degree program. While requirements vary, the student will usually complete four or more courses that provide foundational and advanced learning in the topic.
