Description
The main objective of the Human Resources Development program is to develop professionals in human resources development who have both a broad conceptual understanding of the field and a working knowledge of a wide range of individual, group, and organization development strategies and tactics.
This combination will enhance the careers of students already in human resources development and will increase the likelihood that students wanting to enter the field will be productive in their new careers by leveraging this knowledge base.
