Human Resource Management

At the heart of every workplace, is a human resources team. A Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA) with a concentration in Human Resource Management prepares students to become leaders in a myriad of fields and industries. Whether you want to improve benefit packages for large firms or recruit talent for small businesses, Nichols will provide you the foundation needed to succeed in the industry. 

HR management professionals work both directly and indirectly with all employees of an organization and serve to bridge the gap between upper management and their employees. They also strive to make all members of the organization feel supported and motivated. Our program prepares students for real life in the fulfilling role of an HR professional by educating them on such issues as employee rights, performance management, and global talent management. Other core aspects of employment human resource managers handle include: 

  • recruiting and staffing
  • administration of compensation and benefits 
  • implementing employee training protocols 
  • ensuring company compliance with labor laws
