A path toward HR management

The specialization covers the ground HR careers are built on—strategic HR, recruiting, compensation, labour relations and workplace health—so you can grow from administrator toward specialist and manager roles.

Great school especially for mature students who are working part time or have families. You can work at your pace and set your schedule. The instructors were easy to work with and the quality of the education was good as well.
