A major in Management and Leadership with a concentration in Human Resource Management consists of 27 hours of management courses. All Management and Leadership majors must have 50 percent of the required management and leadership courses in residence at Middle Tennessee State University.

This concentration provides students with HRM-focused knowledge and skills in the areas identified by the profession as most critical, such as compensation and benefits, diversity and inclusion, employee and labor relations, employment law, human resource information systems (HRIS) and measurement of HR, planning and talent management, recruitment and selection, and training and development.

Accelerated Bachelors/Masters (ABM) Program

High achieving students majoring in Management with a Human Resource Management concentration who intend to pursue a master’s degree in Management (M.S.) or Business Administration (M.B.A.) may apply to participate in the Accelerated Bachelors/Masters (ABM) pathway. The pathway allows undergraduate students an opportunity to complete select requirements for both the bachelor’s and master’s degrees simultaneously. Upon successful completion of the ABM pathway, students must submit an application (including application fee) to the graduate program. Additional application requirements will be waived, and the student will be admitted to the program automatically. For more information about the ABM pathway, see the Graduate Catalog.
