Bachelor of Science in Business Administration in Management and Human Resources

University of the Pacific - Shorelight

The Management and Human Resources major in the Eberhardt School of Business prepares students to manage people and processes in the workplace. Jobs and careers are changing rapidly. One of the most exciting and dynamic aspects of how organizations achieve goals is in the area of managing people, resources, and processes in order to maximize performance. Rapid advances in telework, leadership development, product and project management, social media, and Big Data have led to exciting opportunities for students interested in the field of Management and Human Resources. Experiential learning provides immersive experiences that develop students’ professional skills and networks to serve as a bridge to their careers. Pacific Management and Human Resources students gain experiential learning through internships, case competitions, and immersive class assignments with business organizations. For instance, some classes offer ''live'' case studies in which guest speakers from industry pose a real problem they are facing and solicit student recommendations in class. Another course in the major provides students with real-world opportunities to develop their coaching skills. A recent human resources management class helped a small business in Stockton create an electronic employee handbook for their organization. Management and Human Resources majors also have the opportunity to volunteer for events, visit companies and network with alumni.
