The Human Resources Master of Business Administration program at Baker College has prepared numerous students for successful careers in HR. Aspiring business leaders can continue to look to Baker College as a top resource for HR training; the institution was recently renewed for alignment with the Society for Human Resource Management's (SHRM) HR Curriculum Guidebook and Template, a trusted industry authority.

Through its realignment, Baker's HR MBA program has demonstrated its commitment to achieving its chief goal: preparing students to take on the unique and constantly evolving challenges of the modern HR field.

SHRM's HR Curriculum Guidebook and Template

Developed in 2006 in hopes of better defining post-secondary HR education standards, the SHRM's HR Curriculum Guidebook and Template was revalidated in 2010 and again in 2013. During the highly interactive development and revalidation process, SHRM sought to provide an enduring framework for international HR collegiate programs -- but also a malleable set of guidelines that could shift in accordance with an industry prone to prompt and extensive changes.

In just over a decade, SHRM's educational guidelines have had a huge impact on the HR field, ensuring that colleges provide the comprehensive, high-quality education that students need in order to succeed in a rapidly evolving business climate. Colleges abiding by these guidelines have given rise to a new and very talented generation of HR professionals.

Students involved in SHRM-approved curriculums are encouraged, in part, by the potential of the SHRM Certified Professional (SHRM-CP) exam, a valuable tool for demonstrating knowledge and competence to prospective employers. Prior to applying for the exam, students must be in good standing and must complete at least 500 hours of documented experiential learning via internships, work study, directed research, full-time work in an approved HR position, or supervised study projects.
