Welcome to the most exciting discipline in the business world today. Everything you are hearing about business, about change, about automation and about the future are impacted by the human resources professionals in the organization.

To have the mind-set of the human resource professional means that you have an agile mind, the ability to continuously innovate, that you fail fast but learn faster; that you engage in intentional collaboration and constant disruption.

To have the focus of the human resources professional means that you give attention to employee empowerment, employee engagement, employee satisfaction and the employee experience.

To be effective in the function of human resources you will be comfortable working with augmented and virtual reality, robotic processes, the internet of things, and artificial intelligence.

And the lens’ through which the human resources professional looks at business are such lenses as continuous work reimagined, employment of managers and leaders, HR leadership and governance, and the external ecosystem

If all of this sounds exciting, then you belong here. A Bachelor of Business Administration, majoring in Human Recourse is the academic path for you.
