Certificate in Human Resource Management Requirements

It is the mission of the MAHRM program to prepare students to enter human resource management as a career field, to position themselves to exploit promotion opportunities in the discipline, or to segue into the HR field as managers after successful careers in other management disciplines. In general, we are committed to preparing our students to become HR generalists, specialists, managers, and executives, as their career phase, maturity level, and personal motivation dictates.

The Certificate in Human Resource Management was designed for HR professionals who would like to update their skills or prepare for promotion or relocation into another functional area of HR. The certificate program caters to those whose professional or personal responsibilities preclude completion of the MAHRM program, as well as graduate students who seek specialized coursework and credentialing in human resource management.
