Built for students who already hold an Associate Degree, this completion track advances into staffing strategy, compensation design, and employee relations. Coursework moves beyond introductory HR concepts into the practical skills needed to support an organization's workforce.
The flexible one-year format allows transfer credit to count toward the 84 total credit hours, while a capstone bridge project connects associate-level coursework to bachelor's-level HR practice. Graduates are prepared for roles such as HR coordinator or HR generalist.
