Bring out the best in your team

Through elective work in motivation, leadership, negotiation and compensation, as a human resources major you'll learn what it takes to be a fair, effective and successful leader. Who know? Maybe you’ll be the next Indra Nooyi, chairwoman and CEO of PepsiCo.

Learn to lead

To manage others, you need to listen attentively, think decisively, communicate clearly and act ethically. As a human resources major, you'll be immersed in Marquette's unique combination of liberal arts and business courses, which will help you strengthen your personal and business skills simultaneously.

Internships

Human resources majors develop management skills while building personal networks through internships with high-profile Milwaukee-area firms such as GE Healthcare, Harley-Davidson, MillerCoors and Manpower Inc.

Join a career path of the rise

Human resources majors have a bright career outlook. A recent U.S. Department of Labor study reports that employment in human resources management is expected to jump by 20 percent in the coming decade.

Master the science of human resources management

After graduation, human resources majors can stay for one more year and complete a master of science in human resources management, raising employment (and pay) prospects.
