Three Capella University HR Specializations Acknowledged by SHRM

Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) March 23, 2008 -- Capella University (www.capella.edu), an accredited,* fully online university (http://www.capella.edu/online_university.aspx), announced today that the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) has acknowledged that three Capella HR programs fully align with SHRM's HR Curriculum Guidebook and Templates. They are Capella's Human Resource Management specializations in its MS in Organization and Management, MBA, and BS in Business online degree programs.

Worldwide, only 23 programs in 19 educational institutions have been acknowledged by SHRM as being in alignment with its suggested guides and templates. Capella is the first university to have three programs acknowledged, and is one of only three universities with online HR degree programs (http://www.capella.edu/schools_programs/business_technology/mba/health_care_management.aspx) to gain acknowledgement from SHRM.

The HR Curriculum Guidebook and Templates were developed by SHRM to define the minimum HR content areas that should be studied by HR students at the undergraduate and graduate levels. They are part of SHRM's HR Education Initiative, created in 2006 to help the society define HR education standards taught in university business schools across the nation and help universities develop degree programs that follow these standards.

"With this acknowledgement from SHRM, our HR students can feel confident that Capella's management curricula align with HR education standards identified by the world's leading association for HR professionals," said Michael Williams, PhD, Capella's faculty chair for HR management. "It provides assurance that the courses they are taking are professionally relevant and reflect the most recent thinking in the HR field."

Capella's portfolio of human resource and training specializations includes more than a dozen options, enabling human resource professionals to choose the degree program and specialization that is right for them. They include a Human Resource Management specialization at the PhD level that reflects the competencies identified by SHRM in "The Competency Model for the New HR." SHRM's HR Education Initiative does not currently review PhD programs.

Capella is also a SHRM-approved provider of the SHRM Learning System, which helps prepare learners to take the Professional in Human Resources (PHR) and Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR) certification examinations.

Review of the MBA, Human Resource Management specialization is pending in Ohio.
