BUSINESS MANAGEMENT MAJOR REQUIREMENTS
HUMAN RESOURCES CONCENTRATION
An Investment in Success
Students who have completed this concentration at UW-Parkside now work in Human Resource Management at a wide
variety of organizations in southeastern Wisconsin and northern Illinois, including Aurora Health Care, CNH, Uline, Hewitt
Associates, Horizon Retail Construction, Bass Pro Shops, and Walgreens. Other students have used their Human Resource
knowledge to help run their family or other small businesses. Our alumni also pursue graduate degrees through programs
like the MBA at UW-Parkside or the Masters in Human Resources and Labor Relations (MHRLR) at UW-Milwaukee. In
addition they may pursue professional certification as a PHR or a SPHR (analogous to a CPA in accounting) through the
Society for Human Resource Management.
AACSB Accreditation: The Business Management/Human Resources Concentration program is
accredited by the prestigious AACSB-International (The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools
of Business.) This accreditation is recognized worldwide as a sign of program quality.
