University of Phoenix today announced the Society for Human
Resource Management (SHRM) has recognized two of the University’s
School of Business degree programs as fully aligned with the
organization’s HR Curriculum Guidebook and Templates. The programs
include the Bachelor of Science in Business with a concentration in
Human Resource Management* and the Master of Business
Administration (MBA) with a concentration in Human Resource
Management1.
“Talent is the most critical component of most organizations,
making HR professionals the backbone of their companies,” said Ruth
Veloria, executive dean of University of Phoenix School of
Business. “HR roles continue to get more dynamic and organizations
are looking for strategic thinkers who can help drive company
growth. University of Phoenix School of Business is committed to
developing curriculum that is aligned with industry standards and
competencies, and the affirmation by SHRM helps demonstrate the
relevance of these programs to employers and HR professionals.”
The HR Curriculum Guidebook and Templates were developed by SHRM
to define the HR content areas that should be studied by HR
students at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The guidelines,
created in 2006 and revalidated in 2010 and 2013, are part of
SHRM’s Academic Initiative to define HR education standards taught
in university business schools and help universities develop degree
programs that align with these standards.
The Bachelor of Science in Business with a concentration or
certificate in Human Resource Management helps students develop
essential HR skill sets and in-depth understanding of how HR
management integrates into business operations. The certificate
option allows students to take career-focused courses and grow
industry-specific skills earlier in their programs and graduate
with two credentials – a certificate and a bachelor’s degree.
The Master of Business Administration with a concentration in
Human Resource Management helps grow leadership and management
skills and enhances knowledge of complex business issues such as
employment and healthcare law. It also helps professionals manage
talent procurement and development in an increasingly global and
remote workforce.

Business also offers non-degree programs, including certificates,
