This program emphasizes critical thinking, data analysis, and tangible results in human resources management (HRM). Strengthen your ability to effectively address real-world challenges from both a business and HRM perspective. This program is designed to teach you to translate strategic plans into workplace practices that deliver positive business results.
The FlexPath option offers the potential to
significantly reduce the cost of earning your degree, accelerate the
time required for degree completion, and better align your learning to
the needs of employers and society. Traditionally, degree programs are
constructed around credit hours that measure the time required to
complete specific courses. Under, FlexPath, degree programs are
constructed around the direct assessment of demonstrated competencies.
While resources will be recommended, you can use any materials and
resources you choose, including textbooks, eBooks, simulations,
videos, articles, and work experiences. This new competency-based
format allows you to complete course work at your own pace throughout
each quarter. Once you believe you have mastered the course concepts,
you will complete activities to demonstrate specific competencies by
the end of the quarter.
