The Human Resource Management major in UW-Green Bay's Cofrin School of Business provides students with in-depth knowledge in the Human Resources Management domain through a rigorous curriculum with courses covering important topics in HR such as employee retention and development, recruitment and selection, compensation, job performance and cutting-edge topics such as HR Analytics. 

The program provides considerable exposure to the liberal arts and develops the critical thinking, problem-solving, interpersonal, communication, quantitative and computer skills needed by graduates to successfully serve as leaders within modern organizations. The program also addresses contemporary organizational issues such as global competition, social responsibility and ethics, sustainability, and the relationship between organizations and various environmental forces.
