Hey, I've been looking into studying Human Resources in college and SDSU has caught my eye. Is it considered one of the best colleges in California for this major or are there others I should consider?
San Diego State University (SDSU) has a well-regarded management school, and its HR program (officially known as "Human Resource Management") is one of the specialties within the college of business, which indicates a focused attention on the subject.
However, when it comes to the best colleges in California for studying HR, the answer depends on several factors such as university resources, faculty credentials, career services, and alumni network in addition to pure academic reputation.
For instance, the University of Southern California (USC) offers a very highly regarded Master's in Human Resources in their Marshall School of Business. Similarly, the University of California, Berkeley, offers an Industrial Relations and Human Resources concentration within their business major that is also quite reputable.
Additionally, consider looking at the Business Administration major with a concentration in Human Resources at CSU Long Beach.
While academics are important, you should also consider other factors, such as location and size of the school, campus culture, cost, and financial aid when deciding which school to attend.
In conclusion, while SDSU has a solid program, weigh your options with the likes of USC, UC Berkeley, and CSU Long Beach. It might be helpful to visit the campuses and talk to current students or alumni if possible to get a better feel for these programs. Good luck with your college search!
