Human Resources Concentration
In today’s fast paced global economy, many businesses and organizations are facing up to the challenge of managing their most important asset – people.  So its no wonder that qualified human resources specialists are among the most sought after employees of all.  The U.S. Department of Labor forecasts demand to grow by as much as 20% between now and 2010.  Typical functions include recruiting and screening talent, negotiating employment contracts,  acting as general intermediary between all levels of management, resolving employee grievances and conflicts, minimizing the impact of sudden expansion and downsizing, ensuring regulatory compliance, managing employee training and benefits and, of course, keeping employee morale at the highest possible level. Our program is designed to combine best practices along with managing in the face of complicated and ever changing circumstances.  In short, you will learn to analyze difficult situations and present unique solutions.
