Human Resource Management

Concentrations

People are a company's greatest asset, and managers need to know how to keep their workforce satisfied and motivated.

A concentration in Human Resource (HR) Management equips students with the skillset required to maximize the efforts of recruitment and retention, organizational design, training and development, diversity, performance management, and assessment initiatives.

This concentration aligns with the coursework recommended by SHRM (Society for Human Resource Management) to prepare for the national professional certification exam.

The Lower Cape Fear Human Resource Association (LCFHRA) is closely involved with the HR concentration concentration coursework and student involvement experiences.

Common HR Careers

HR careers tend to follow either a generalist or a specialist path with plenty of opportunities to cross between them. The career opportunities for HR majors are many and demand for HR skill sets is only projected to grow in the future

HR generalists have a broad set of responsibilities, such as managing the HR department’s daily operations and overseeing regulatory compliance and reporting, organization development, company-employee communication, and employee safety and welfare.

HR specialists, on the other hand, tend to be more directly involved with recruitment processes like applicant screening, recruiting, interviewing, and onboarding workers into relevant employment opportunities. Specialists can work within specific HR functions such as employee and labor relations, training and development, compensation, benefits, and managing the employee experience through initiatives and culture changes.
