Course Report

Program Requirements Narrative

The current program is titled Human Resources – Locally Approved Certificate (CE868) and is offered as a locally approved certificate. We propose renaming it to Business Administration: Human Resources Specialized Area Credential and transitioning it to a state-approved certificate. This change is intended to attract more students interested in pursuing a career in Human Resources and to ensure the credential is officially recorded on their transcripts.
