KINGSVILLE (September 28, 2023) — The College of Business Administration at Texas A&M University-Kingsville has recently completed alignment with Human Resource Curriculum Guidebook and Templates from the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM). Throughout the world, over 500 programs in 425 educational institutions have been acknowledged by SHRM as being in alignment with its suggested guides and templates.
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. The alignment is for five years.
Texas A&M-Kingsville programs that have been aligned are the undergraduate bachelor’s degree in business administration with a human resource management minor and the graduate master’s degree in business administration human resource management transcripted certificate.
“For college graduates, career readiness is key to ensuring successful entrance into the workforce and a successful career launch,” said Dr. Natalya Delcoure, dean of the College of Business Administration.
“Our college faculty and staff keep an ear to the ground on changing industry demands, and we are constantly striving to further develop our curriculum so our alumni are more than ready for today’s ever-changing business climate. SHRM academic alignment is another example of that,” she said.
“The alignment with SHRM significantly enhances the College of Business Administration’s competitive advantage and provides valuable benefits to our students,” said Dr. Xiaochuan Song, assistant professor of management.
“This partnership not only extends our high-quality business education to a wider audience, potentially boosting future enrollment, but it also equips our students with essential Human Resource Management knowledge, skills and abilities, granting them a distinct advantage in the job market, professional growth and beyond,” Song added.
