Human Resources Management, Certificate


The Human Resources Graduate Certificate is a comprehensive program designed to help business professionals advance their career by developing state of the art business strategies needed to lead organizations at all levels. The program has a key focus on obtaining business knowledge, analyzing business situations through data metrics, and executing informed strategies to drive an organization forward.  

AU’s Certificate in Human Resources will provide students with the expertise to advise management on HR-related interests, from providing a cost-benefit analysis of hiring an external job recruiter to what comprises a strategic benefit package for executives. Topics include HR analytics, HR information systems, employment law and public policy, learning management systems, social media, corporate security, mobile applications, work-life balance, employee retention and engagement, corporate ethics and career mapping.
