Human Resourse Degrees

The Bachelor of Business Administration Program in Human Resources Management provides full-time and part-time intensive study for students wishing to undertake studies in the HRM field.

Based on extensive consultations with business leaders, and explicit reference to the Required Professional Capabilities of the Certified Human Resources Practitioner (CHRP) designations, the degree is designed to prepare students to achieve the CHRP designation and for a range of Human Resources Professional roles.

This Degree is designed as a four year program which can be accessed in either Year 1 from direct admission from High School or Year 3 from a variety of diploma-level (60 credit) programs as outlined below.

Degree classes are scheduled for days, evenings and weekends to allow students to further their education while maintaining current employment.

Students acquire:
Technical business skills through subject specific studies

A better understanding of human society and how to contribute to it through liberal education studies

Some unique features of the program are:
Direct incorporation of Intended Learning Outcomes based on the Certified Human Resources Professional Requirements and industry feedback;
Practicum, learning partnerships with business, applied projects and assignments and ongoing work experience;
Full block transfer of credits from recognized college and university programs;
Exit/re-entry flexibility, where a student can complete the program at their own pace. This allows for changing outside-of-schools time requirements and does not lock a student into a rigid program, structure and time frame;
Professional development for individuals seeking higher level training
