Human Resources Management (HRM)

Department of Psychology, College of Social and Applied Human Sciences.

The HRM program provides some basic preparation for students contemplating a career as a Human Resources practitioner, and for potential certification by the Human Resources Professionals Association of Ontario (HRPAO). It complements a traditional business core with an emphasis on issues relating to people and the workplace. The program combines conceptual and quantitative elements and promotes the integration of theory with practice. A feature of the program is a required applied research course, where students conduct group projects in workplace settings under the direction of a faculty member.

Presently the HRM program meets all four academic requirements of the Tier I Compulsory Subjects set out by the Human Resources Professionals Association of Ontario. Our objective is to meet 50% of the Tier II Specialized Subjects.

For this major, 15.00 of the 20.00 credits are specified as core requirements and the remaining 5.00 as electives. A list of suggested electives follows the description of required courses.

Note: Psychology Courses designated with (H) in Section XII--Course Descriptions are Honours level Psychology courses requiring for registration a cumulative average of at least 70% in all course attempts in Psychology or registration in the Human Resources Management major of the Bachelor of Commerce program.
