Human Resources is a field that is an essential part of most organizations. HR professionals are responsible for providing information, support, and even advocacy on behalf of all employees and help to help make working environments more productive and inclusive.
The Bachelor of Business Administration program with a Concentration in Human Resources from South College is designed to help you gain foundational knowledge in common HR functions, including human resource planning, recruitment, selection, placement, and orientation of employees. Courses also cover training and career development, labor relations, training and career development, conflict resolution, performance appraisals, compensation, benefit programs and administration, and personnel policy development.

Students entering the BBA with a Concentration in Human Resources program must have strong communication skills, a love of working with people, and an interest in fostering an environment of ethical, professional, and legal responsibility. The curriculum includes a number of interdisciplinary subjects, so the ability to manage your time and course load is also important.
South College helps our business students thrive by providing hands-on guidance throughout the degree program, especially as students choose their areas of focus and work on their course projects.

I chose South College because it came highly recommended from mentors of mine, the faculty is second to none, and the program fits my ever-changing lifestyle. I also chose it because of the flexibility. My wife is still serving in the United States Air Force on Active Duty, and this means that we move when they tell us to move.

One of the major reasons I chose South College was for the smaller class sizes. It allows more one-on-one time between students and professors, which enhances the learning experience for me.

I went to college originally straight out of high school with the intent of majoring in musical performance with a concentration in theoretical studies. I was not prepared to for college at that point, so I decided to gain some experience and maturity by joining the work force full-time. After working for 10 years, I felt it was time to try school again.
