Marietta's major in human resource management is distinguished by its focus on the motivational and ethical issues that affect the "people side" of the management equation. Job opportunities look promising in this field, as an increasing number of complex issues face the human resource manager: especially as organizations and corporations work diligently to consolidate and run leaner.
The human resource management major is designed to give students a perspective on the key areas within the field: recruitment, selection, training, and development of personnel; administration of compensation and benefits; labor relations; occupational health and safety programs; collective bargaining; career planning; and employee counseling. The faculty bring a wide variety of backgrounds and experience to the major. The lead instructor in the human resource management major, for example, has spent three sabbaticals with the human resources operations of General Electric, DuPont, and Wiremold.
