Managing human capital in organizations has grown in importance as many firms now recognize that human capital can be a source of competitive advantage in the global marketplace. The HRM function is now considered a key to delivering outstanding organizational performance and in this context, well-trained HRM professionals are in great demand.

The HRM concentration at Bryant University provides comprehensive insight in understanding and managing human capital in local and global organizations. Students will develop a complete understanding of all the different Human Resource (HR) functions such as recruitment, selection, placement, and orientation of employees; training and career development; employment law and labor relations; management of performance appraisal, compensation, and benefit programs; and development of personnel policies and procedures for a domestic and an international work- force. Students are required to do an HR internship in an organization.

The curriculum aims to provide an integrated understanding through development of knowledge and real-world experience that will enable students to prepare for professional certification examinations such as Professional in Human Resources, Senior Professional in Human Resources, and Global Professional in Human Resources, which are offered by the Society of Human Resource Management.
