The Fox Human Resource Management (HRM) major prepares students for careers in human resource (HR) management and recognizes the necessity of creating synergies between the human and business side to enhance an organization’s productivity, reputation, and sustainable profits. The Fox HRM major prepares graduates to be leaders and specialists in the areas of 1) talent recruitment and retention, 2) training and development, 3) compensation & benefits, 4) performance management, 5) labor relations and 6) compliance with local, state and federal employment laws and policies.

Typical first jobs for Human Resource Management majors include HR generalist, corporate recruiter, employee relations specialist, compensation analyst, corporate trainer, and management trainee. Typical jobs held five-ten years out include HR director, staffing manager, compensation manager, training manager, and employee relations director.

Human Resource Management majors are expected to be active in Temple's student chapter of the Society for Human Resource Management (TUSHRM). Guest speakers, networking events, internships and co-ops, annual HRM awards banquet, and other career development activities are just a few benefits of joining. There are two student SHRM chapters, one at Main Campus and the other at Ambler.
