Bachelor of Science in Human Resource Management

at State University of New York - Oswego USA

The program has a core that requires the student to develop an understanding of, and ability to apply, the fundamentals of each of the constituting disciplines. Then, the student narrows focus to complete additional and more advanced work at the intersection of at least two of these disciplines. Students interested in pursuing careers in law, politics, public service, or any field concerned with developing or interpreting social policy, will find the course of study uniquely beneficial.

Our faculty are internationally recognized researchers and teachers. We have an active community of scholarship where students are welcome and encouraged to participate.

As a PP&E major you will learn study the core methods and theories of each of the constituting disciplines. Then, after completing your core requirements, you can specialize in two of the disciplines to more advanced study and work: political economy, philosophy and economics, or politics and philosophy.

Our program is accredited by the American Chemical Society and is ranked in the top three in the number of certified degrees award in New York.
