Professional Education Human Resources Management Certificate

The importance and complexity of managing human resources has grown over the years, as have the opportunities for employment in this exciting area of management. Recognizing these changes, Professional Education at the U of U has developed a program to assist individuals and organizations in improving the value they contribute to their business success from a human resource management (HRM) perspective. Designed for the entry-level person and approved through the Human Resource Certification institute (HRCI), the Human Resource Management Certificate program provides the knowledge you need to develop effective practices for an ever-changing, complex workplace.

For graduates of the Human Resource Certificate Program and for seasoned HR professionals, visit the Advanced Human Resources Certificate for details.

As a professional in the field of Human Resources, it was refreshing to interact with colleagues, and to receive instruction and interaction from notable professionals in our industry. I found the curriculum to be very thought-provoking and exceptionally helpful. I would strongly encourage any one interested in the field of Human Resources to add the HRM Certificate Program offered by the University of Utah to their "must attend" list!
