Human resources
Tasks working in human resources can vary from processing employee benefits, or recruiting, interviewing, and hiring new personnel to working with top executives on strategic planning, suggesting and changing policies which affect the workforce.

Human resources workers have diverse duties and multiple levels of responsibility, therefore the educational requirements in this field vary. You can work in virtually any industry this gives you multiple choices when selecting your education program in human resources. Although specialization usually occurs at the master's level, determining your specialty in advance will allow you to make the best choice when it comes to your courses of study and will also help you pick your elective courses while at junior college. Most degrees can be obtained entirely on line within 2 years or less. Doctorate degrees have short residency requirements and usually take longer. While in entry-level jobs, employers usually expect you to hold an undergraduate degree.

An interdisciplinary background is suitable for this field. A curriculum that combines business and social sciences is best. Relevant courses to look for are management principles, organizational structure, industrial psychology, public administration, computers and information systems, compensation, recruitment, and training and development. Other helpful courses are behavioral sciences, psychology, sociology, political science, economics, and statistics. Some jobs require a more technical or specialized background in engineering, science, finance, labour law, collective bargaining, and labour economics, so be sure to explore these options as well.

Degrees Available in Human Resources

Associate Degree - An Associate of Business Administration / Human Resource Management degree is an entry level program which introduces the student to the identifiable set of activities that will affect and influence employees in an organization. These activities include but are not limited to recruitment, selection, compensation, and evaluation.

Bachelor Degree - A bachelor's degree will most likely lead to an assistant level position in human resources. You will develop further insights into human resources functions and outside influences, based on modern business such as economic, social, and legal issues. You may gain a strategic understanding of workforce planning and development, training, as well as compensations and benefits, global human resource management, employee health and safety, and labour law.

As a Bachelor of Science or arts, this degree will prepare you for professional certification examinations. These include Human Resource Professional, Senior Human Resource Professional, and International Human Resource Professional. All of these designations are offered by the Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM).

Undergraduate Certificates - An Undergraduate Certificate in Human Resource Management allows employees already working within a private or public sector to upgrade their skills with theory and practical knowledge in human resource management. This certificate will also prepare you for certification examinations.

Master's Degrees - A master's degree in human resources, labour relations, or in business administration with a concentration in human resources management is highly recommended for those seeking general and top management positions. Advanced education is increasingly important for human resources management jobs. Many labour relations jobs require graduate study in industrial and/or labour relations. Contract negotiators, mediators, and arbitrators require a strong background in industrial relations and law. Having a law background is a great asset for employee benefits managers and others who interpret changes in laws and regulations.

Graduate Certificates - Human Resource Management graduate certificates are also an available option. You will review the fundamental principles of organizational behavior, the scope of human resource management issues, and basic legal frameworks involved within the human resources field. Certificates are completed with fewer credits and less time than a traditional degree, but they still provide the foundation of knowledge necessary to pursue higher level certification and can then be applied to full a Master's or a doctorate degree at a later time.

Doctorate Programs - Achieving a Ph.D in human resource management will allow you to focus on the skills needed to become a full business partner. You may also pursue a career in consulting, writing, or teaching. Quality of a company's personnel can mean the difference between a successful career and waiting in line at the unemployment office. Many human resources managers act as talent scouts and coaches. Human resources managers often are the ones to identify potential star employees for a company.
