The Rutgers
Graduate Certificate in Strategic HRM offers a flexible way for
individuals seeking to acquire new knowledge to help their organizations
respond to current workforce challenges, and/or propel their HR career
forward through an exciting and challenging learning environment.
Building upon
cutting-edge research and practice, the program allows students to
earn formal credentials (the graduate certificate) for completing the
required four (4) courses with the potential to apply to transfer full credit
to the Rutgers MHRM degree program.
Individuals
working in HR positions who may have transferred from other areas within their
organization may find the program beneficial to obtain formal training in
HR coursework to build their competencies. Graduate students seeking master's
degrees in other areas may also find that additional coursework in HR is
valuable if they seek the flexibility to apply their master's training
within the HR function of an organization, within HR consulting, or in a work
role where they will manage employees.
