The Human Resource Management (HR MGMT) major prepares students for careers in human resource (HR) management and general management. Increasingly, organizations are hiring well-trained professionals to recruit, develop, manage, and retain their most valuable business asset - human resources. The Human Resource Management department prepares students with the knowledge and skills needed for the strategic and interpersonal management of company employees.
Typical first jobs for Human Resource Management majors include corporate recruiter, employee relations specialist, compensation analyst, corporate trainer, HR generalist, and management trainee. Typical jobs held five-ten years out include HR director, staffing manager, compensation manager, training manager, and employee relations director.
Human Resource Management majors are expected to become involved in the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM). Guest speakers, networking events, internships and co-ops, career development activities, and the résumé book are just a few benefits of joining. This organization is open to all Fox majors. There are two student SHRM chapters, one at Main Campus and the other at Ambler. The Main Campus chapter office is located in Alter Hall 333C. For more information, contact Katherine Nelson at 215-204-8370, k8nelson@temple.edu or the SHRM office at 215-204-1626. For Ambler, contact Megan Rimer at 215-204-2371, mrimer@temple.edu, or the SHRM Main office.

People First Certificate
Effectively managing employees is essential to any successful business enterprise. In today's environment, developed skills in organizational communication, conflict management, and team building can give companies an edge on the competition. The Human Resource Management Department offers three courses that we call our People First sequence. These courses provide Fox School of Business and Management students the professional edge they need for successful management:
- HR MGMT 3501: Power, Influence & Negotiation
- HR MGMT 3502: Managing People at Work
- HR MGMT 3503: Communicating in Organizations
Take all three courses and receive our People First Certificate, an approved certificate program within FSBM. Or, take just one or two to further your training in the people side of business. People First Certification is available to Fox School students only.
Joint Program for RMI & HRM Majors
The Risk Management and Insurance (RMI) Department and the Human Resource Management Department now offer several joint programs for students interested in a career in employee benefits and/or human resource management. These programs allow students to broaden their career options by taking advantage of the cross-training offered by these departments.
- HR MGMT major with a RSK MGT concentration. Students take RSK MGT 3501 (Life and Health Insurance and Employee Benefits) and RSK MGT 3503 (Retirement Plans).
- RSK MGT major with a HR MGMT concentration. Students take HR MGMT 2501 (Introduction to Human Resource
Management) and HR MGMT 3511 (Compensation Management).
- Dual HR MGMT/RSK MGT major. Students fulfill all requirements for both majors.
For more information on joint HR MGMT/RSK MGT options, contact Dr. John Deckop, 215-204-1933.
