The Human Resource Management program consists of three courses (9 credits total) in human resource management, training and development, and employee engagement and retention. The certificate will prepare students to apply essential human resource principles in the recruitment, selection, development and retention of qualified employees.

Program Objectives


Successful completion of the Human Resource Management program will enable graduates to:

• Examine leadership challenges in multinational and multicultural organizations.
• Analyze issues that arise in human capital management.
• Use qualitative and quantitative tools to evaluate employee performance.
• Collaborate and communicate effectively
• Develop human resource policies and staffing plans to achieve business objectives.
• Develop specialized professional expertise in human resource management.

Each course in the program assesses learning through the development of reports, presentations, plans, spreadsheets and training that an executive or entrepreneur would produce in a real business.

Students must complete the following courses:

HR 501- Human Resources Management (3 credits)

People are essential to creating products and providing services in businesses. Hiring, training, and retaining the right people and motivating them is a key element of business success. This course provides an overview of human resources processes and strategies. Practices for recruitment, selection, training, management, promotion, retention, compensation, and discipline of employees are addressed.

HR 502 – Training & Development (3 credits)

In the knowledge economy, skills and professional competencies become obsolete quickly. This course focuses on strategies to develop and train employees. Topics covered include: job analyses; employee testing and selection; development strategies; training and assessment techniques; and evaluation of training programs.

HR 503 – Employee Engagement & Retention (3 credits)

Once a business has hired good people, they need to keep them. High employee turnover can be both expensive and detrimental to business operations. This course focuses on strategies to improve the performance of human capital. Topics covered include: the legal environment of human resources; workforce planning; performance management; compensation; managing diverse work forces; expatriate operations; leadership and motivation techniques; and development of a strategic human resources plan.

A graduate degree is an investment in your future, and we understand that covering tuition and other education-related costs can be a real challenge. Saint Kolbe University provides access to quality education at an affordable cost, in forms and languages that meet the needs of students around the world.

The simplicity of fixed monthly payments


Services are actively evolving; it’s time for education to evolve as well. That’s why we offer a very simple payment plan for our students. You would pay a fixed monthly fee of $562.5 for the 3 courses per term. It’s that simple.

Tuition Guarantee


Part of our commitment is to give you peace of mind. Once you start your program, your tuition and other fees are locked in and fixed for the duration of your program.
This way you won’t be surprised by unexpected increases or changes that could jeopardize your completion.

Difficult Times Policy


We understand life circumstances. If you are enrolled in a program and face a major life hardship, such as a job loss or health-related situation, you may suspend your learning program for a short period of time. We will allow you to stop payments, giving you time to recover. Remember, the maximum time to complete a degree is 150% of the agreed completion time.

Debt Free Graduates


We want you to have a successful graduation, without future school debts. With our low tuition and monthly payments, we allow students to pay as they go, avoiding a large burden at the end of their programs. This approach also allows for a very simple application process, without the numerous forms and documentation needed to apply for loans and government programs. This simplicity also allows us to reduce administrative costs and pass those savings directly to you.

Scholarships


Generally, our students are able to pay the monthly tuition with a combination of earned income, family contributions and savings.
Saint Kolbe University is fully committed to your success. In the event that you are fully qualified for our programs and can demonstrate that you have an affordability challenge where you are unable to cover the full monthly payment, you may qualify for one of our scholarships.
