Why Study Human Resource Management at UND?
An organization is only as strong as the people who work for it.

And as a student in our Nistler College of Business & Public Administration, you'll learn how HR fits into the big picture of running an organization — because the decision-making and planning that go into ensuring your staff shines needs to work seamlessly with other aspects.
