The certificate is designed as a first step to the Management Associate Degree, as a credential for those seeking a first job in human resources where a degree is not required, or as a complement to those working in the human resources field who have no prior background in the discipline. The program offers a broad foundation of knowledge about organizations and how they operate as well as a basic understanding and introduction to key human resources-related tasks. The program introduces students to a variety of topics, such as an overview of the many functions of human resources, principles of management and leadership, employment law, compensation and benefits, and employee selection and retention. Students may apply courses in the Human Resource Specialist Certificate toward the Associate Degree in Applied Science with a major in Management.
