Specializing in human resources means that you’ll become a trusted steward of the most important asset for any company: its employees. This track will teach you what it takes to be successful in this important position, keeping institutions healthy and optimizing workplace flow.
Along with the general management curriculum, you’ll study corporate legal environments, workforce development and training, compensation, policies, and workforce planning. Reinforce what you’ve learned with elective courses in psychology, human services, accounting, or business administration. Then sharpen your skills outside the classroom through an internship, study abroad, or Lynchburg’s community-partnered Management Consulting course.
Through this emphasis, you’ll understand how HR practices can reinforce an organization’s overall strategy, ensuring growth and success. With the techniques you’ve learned under your belt, you’ll graduate fully prepared to contribute toward those workplace goals in any number of diverse settings.
