Business Administration: Human Resource Management 

Ultimately, it’s people that make any organization successful.

 

Human Resource professionals must understand the nuances of the modern workplace to ensure the success of their organization by recruiting, hiring, and retaining the best employees.

 

A degree in business administration with a human resource management emphasis at TWU will prepare you to handle all of the challenges that come with being a successful HR professional, including staffing, compensation, training and development, and employment law.

The MBA 4+1 is an early MBA admissions program. Qualifying seniors can enroll in MBA courses while completing their undergraduate degree. MBA courses can count toward full-time status and scholarship eligibility.

 

Jessica Triplett, HR Management Graduate

The TWU Human Resources curriculum helped prepare me for the SHRM certification exam even six years after graduation. The material and knowledge from the classes are what make up the majority of the exam. I believe what makes these classes so memorable, for me at least, are the interactive in-class exercises. For example, in the Labor Relations class, the semester project was to participate in a collective bargaining agreement. Half of the class represented the company and the other half represented the union. Much of the terminology I remember from that exercise. For me, I retain knowledge best from learning the material and putting into practice through simulation techniques. I found these classes very helpful.
