The human resource development minor is open to all majors.
The minor includes 21 credit hours of course work. The core courses complement the skills you gain in your major discipline by examining the human resource development functions in a private- or public-sector organizational setting. These functions include developing and implementing training and safety programs, providing individual and career development, and leading organizational change and development.
Organizations, both public and private, are increasing their emphasis on employee education, learning, and performance. Many professional and technical jobs now include the responsibilities of orientating and developing new employees and the cross-training of others within departments. As a result, graduates from many disciplines will find themselves thrust into leadership roles within their professions and chosen organizations without complete preparation.
A minor in human resource development provides knowledge and skills to assist you in improving human performance in your organizations. Course work in human resource development will provide you with an opportunity to gain an overview of other disciplines through course assignments, in-class discussions, group projects, and self-exploration. These experiential learning opportunities allow you to examine how the functions of human resource development can be applied in those disciplines.
The human resource development minor includes 21 credit hours of course work.
