Which colleges offer programs in human resources?

I'm drawn to the field of human resources and want to study it in college. Anyone know which colleges have strong HR programs or majors that would prepare me well for a career in this field?

Certainly, many colleges offer strong programs in human resources. Here are a few examples:

1. The University of Minnesota's Carlson School of Management provides a Bachelor of Science in Human Resources and Industrial Relations. This program is one of the best-regarded bachelor’s programs in HR in the United States.

2. At Rutgers University, you can earn a Bachelor's degree in Human Resource Management which is known for in-depth courses and strong industry connections.

3. The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign offers a similar program through its School of Labor and Employment Relations. The program emphasizes critical thinking and problem-solving skills in the HR context.

4. Michigan State University offers an undergraduate degree in Human Resource Management that provides a combination of HR theory and practical applications.

5. Cornell University’s School of Industrial and Labor Relations offers an interdisciplinary bachelor’s program that includes courses in human resources.

These schools are just a starting point. Finding the right college for studying HR can also depend on factors like financial aid availability, campus culture, size, location, and the potential for internships or co-op programs that could give you a leg up in the HR job market. I encourage you to explore programs at various colleges and universities to find the one that aligns best with your career goals and personal preferences.
