HRM Majors are educated in Human Resources Management (HRM), Organizational Behaviour (OB) and Industrial Relations (IR) and can select courses that qualify them for the Certified Human Resources Professional (CHRP) designation and a career in HRM. Students learn about all the major functions of HRM such as recruitment and compensation, and develop OB knowledge and skills in areas such as leadership, interpersonal communication, conflict management, and team building. Experiential learning is stressed in upper level courses through the use of simulated clients, role playing and on-line simulations.
