Derek Seipp, a graduate of the Human Resources online program, was unsure a nontraditional college experience was the right fit for him, but soon learned otherwise. “When I was working through the course material with a full-time job, it was directly applicable to the work that I was doing, which made the information all the more interesting to me. It gave me a deeper level of learning that really let me connect with my job.”
Students can pair this degree with a minor in any of our other online degree programs: Child & Family Services, Management, or Psychology. By adding one of these minors, students enhance their marketability to prospective or current employers.
Each program course is taught by an expert within the field who provides practical insight into the course material. Major courses include Business and Interpersonal Communication, Policies and Personnel Management, Employee and Labor Relations, and Current Issues in Human Resources.
