In recent years, organizations have increasingly begun to appreciate the strategic importance of adopting a systematic approach to human resource management (HRM). The purpose of this program is to provide an in-depth knowledge of the three HRM functions that have become most critical in organizations: personnel management, industrial relations and organizational behaviour. This program emphasizes both practical and conceptual skills, to enable students to work in all areas of HRM in the private, public, and not-for-profit sectors.
Graduates of this program are well-positioned to succeed in the competitive HR labour market, as the majority of our courses have been accredited by the Human Resources Professionals Association of Ontario (HRPAO). Thus, students who successfully complete the HRM program not only receive a BCom with specialized training in HRM, but also fulfill the academic requirements for Certified Human Resources Professional (CHRP) designation.
This program is offered in English and in French.
Bachelor of Commerce and Master of Science Management (Research Project) Pathway
This exciting integrated accelerated bachelor’s/master’s program allows students to earn two degrees in five years. Designed for students with a strong academic record and a keen interest in conducting business research, this integrated program enables select undergraduate students to get a jump-start in their project-based master’s program by completing two graduate courses during their last year of the undergraduate degree, and starting their research project in a familiar environment over the summer bridge term between the bachelor’s and master’s programs. This integrated program focuses on empowering students to develop their business acumen and research skills in a specialized field of study, and to contribute towards smarter decisions about policy and practice in creating a better Canada.
