A Human Resource Management (HRM) minor is ideal for students who want to develop essential skills in managing people and understanding workplace dynamics. A minor in HRM focuses on preparing students to manage the human side of organizations, fostering environments where individuals and teams can thrive. The curriculum includes foundational courses in human resource management and organizational behavior, with electives offering opportunities to gain specialized knowledge in areas such as employee compensation, HR analytics, performance management, and staffing.
Requirements
MGMT 325 must be completed as a prerequisite for the human resource management (HRM) minor and is not included in the calculation of the grade point average for the minor. The minor in HRM requires the completion of MGMT 330 and MGMT 340 plus 6 hours of 300- or 400-level management courses focused in HRM. For completion of a minor, a student must have a minimum overall cumulative grade point average of 2.00 in all courses specified as a requirement for the minor exclusive of prerequisite courses. In addition, a grade of C- or better is required in all human resource management courses counted toward the minor. A minimum of six hours in upper-level courses in the minor must be taken through courses offered by Old Dominion University. Please note that no more than six credits from the minor may “share” with other areas of the student’s curriculum.
