Human Resource Development (B.S.)

B.S. in Human Resource Development


 

The Bachelor of Science in Human Resource Development (HRD) is designed for students who have an interest in Human Resource Development in both the private sector and public sector. The degree is designed to provide the knowledge and skills to succeed in a variety of roles in human resource development for business, industry and education. As defined by the HRD faculty at Texas A&M University, HRD is the process of improving learning and performance in individual, group, and organization contexts through domains of expertise such as lifelong learning, career development, training and development, and organization development.

A strong internship program provides the graduate with direct experience in the development and management of human resource development skills in a real work environment. These internships are designed to match the background and work interests of the students. The degree allows for a wide range of potential employment and accommodation to a diverse education professional experience.

For any questions regarding the internship program, please contact the Undergraduate Internship Coordinator, Dr. Rhonda Fowler at eahrinternship@tamu.edu

The internship course (EHRD 484) can only be taken with a maximum of 6 hours of additional coursework and the coursework must be online (asynchronous) courses. Students are notified that the internship course must be in their final semester and must 1) relate to their major, 2) include at least 400 hours minimum of work during the term registered for internship, 3) be secured by the student (see advisors for resources) and 4) must be approved by the Internship Coordinator for EAHR.

Additionally, the prerequisite course for EHRD 484:  EHRD 490 – Research in HRD/TCM must only be taken in the semester prior to the internship semester.
