The University of Wisconsin – Whitewater College of Business and Economics is pleased to announce the introduction of a new fully online Human Resource (HR) Management undergraduate degree. This program is designed to give students a comprehensive overview of the field of HR and real world experience with training and developing employees, managing benefits and compensation, and effectively handling employee relations on a day-to-day basis.
The introduction of this program coincides with the rise in demand for quality Human Resource professionals. “HR Specialists” is ranked #9 on the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development hot jobs list. It is also listed as a fast growing job category by the U.S Bureau of Labor Statistics. When asked about why HR Professionals were in such high demand recently, Dr Joshua R. Knapp, a professor of Management – Human Resources, pointed out that the answer was simple. “HR is always at the center of the organization and is intimately involved with managing its most important asset: People.”
