Human Resource Management is a minor designed to prepare students for careers in business. The minor is tailored with courses to maximize students’ abilities to gain knowledge and skills in a concentrated timeframe. Students looking to minor in Human Resource Management can pair this concentration with a variety of other business and non-business majors.

Just like Human Resource Management majors, students who minor in Human Resource Management have access to several different student organizations on OU’s campus. Some student organizations are SHRM, the Society for Human Resource Management and Alpha Kappa Psi, the professional business fraternity. These organizations give students the opportunity to become more involved with the student body, develop leadership skills, open doors for internships and jobs, and cultivate friendships that can last a lifetime.

Special offerings for each semester may be found in the Schedule of Classes.
