This program is designed for students whose career objectives lie in the field of personnel management. From its early beginnings as a staff function involving the maintenance of records and the administration of benefit programs, personnel administration has grown and expanded to encompass the total development and deployment of human resources in organizations. While company titles may vary from vice president of industrial relations to vice president for organization planning and development, there are few firms of any size or consequence today that do not have a human resource management specialist reporting directly to the company's highest level. This practice reflects the awareness that the people who work in an organization are its greatest asset.

The curriculum in human resource management is designed to acquaint the student with modern personnel management in its broadest sense. Included are both the traditional areas of personnel administration and labor relations (such as employment, management development, wage and salary administration, organizational planning, and contract negotiation) and developments in the behavioral sciences with implications for a complete human resource management program.

Undergraduates have the opportunity to receive awards, recognition, and scholarships. Internships and independent studies are also available to students.

This concentration is for students who plan to have careers in organizational leadership or human resource management.
