THE DEVELOPMENT OF A HUMAN RESOURCE CURRICULUM FOR INSTITUTIONS EXPERIENCING RAPID GROWTH

Abstract

One key challenge with the growth and expansion of institutions of higher education is the development of cutting-edge degree programs and emphases. Because human resources is constantly changing, new academic programs need to be designed, and current ones updated to reflect these dynamic changes. This article reports research conducted to aid in the development of a human resources emphasis in a School of Business at a fast­ growth institution. Results of this study will assist academia in designing/redesigning human resource programs to ensure alignment with the current knowledge and competency required for successful human resource leadership in today's workplace.
