Career Opportunities
The Human Resource Management program prepares graduates for employment in one of the fastest growing fields in the nation’s economy. The State of Utah has designated what it characterizes as “Five Star” occupations—those that will have the highest growth in demand for new job openings over the next decade, one of which is Administrative Services Managers (of which HR managers are one group). Additionally, the US Department of Labor Statistics estimates that the job growth outlook for HR managers for the years from 2012 to 2022 is 13%.
In addition to the growth in HR employment, the quality of HR services is also a severe concern for many organizations. Currently, many HR departments lack crucial skills necessary for success. The Human Resource Management program will prepare students with a future-oriented, comprehensive HR education to be able to immediately contribute to the strategic goals of their prospective employers.
ProgramsThe Human Resource Management program in the Woodbury School of Business offers both a Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Arts degree in Human Resource Management, as well as a Human Resource Management minor.
