I want to work in human resources. I have a degree in economics and I’m not sure how to proceed. I’ve been applying for jobs in the clerical field, accounting, and one position as a human resources clerk. Is it hard to get work in HR?
There is no such MBA. Universities don’t grant MBA in information systems, or MBA in finance, or MBA in marketing. MBA means Master in Business Administration. The MBA is a general degree preparing students for management positions in any level of a business, up to CEO. MBA students study accounting, finance, marketing, management, statistics, economics, strategy, policy, and other courses. Many MBA programs offer concentrations in these and many other fields, but that amounts to only 2-3 courses in your chosen field in the second year of study. Many students avoid a concentration and take a variety of elective subjects to gain a broader background. By the time you finish the first year you’ll be able to decide which concentration interests you. You don’t become a specialist in a field with 2-3 courses. It generally takes a year of concentrated study.
The MBA is not like an MS degree that concentrates study in a single field and prepares students for high level staff or research positions. The MS typically requires an undergraduate education in the field in which you want the MS, or a closely related field. A finance major does not get an MS in chemistry, and a biology major does not get an MS in accounting. If you want to specialize in a particular field other than business administration, such as finance, marketing, operations management, human resource management, or a non-business field such as public health, or public administration, you should get an MS degree in that specialization.
MBA programs accept students in any undergraduate field. They prefer students who do not have a business background because they give you the business training but they cannot provide the broad background that managers should have. I have taught MBA students with degrees in Music, Medicine, Dentistry, Law, Psychology, Political Science, Chemistry, Biology, Engineering, and many other fields. Most MBA programs prefer students with 2-3 years work experience after the first degree, but many accept students right out of college if they have good grades and a high GMAT score. Some MBA programs are designed specifically for new college graduates without work experience.
The Official MBA Guide provides a lot of information about the MBA degree and MBA schools and programs. It’s a comprehensive free public service with more than 2,000 MBA programs listed worldwide. It allows you to search for programs by location (US, Europe, Far East, etc.), by concentration (finance, marketing, aviation management, health management, accounting, etc.), by type of program (full-time, distance learning, part-time, executive, and accelerated), and by listing your own criteria and preferences to get a list of universities that satisfy your needs. Schools report their accreditation status, tuition cost, number of students, class sizes, program length, and a lot of other data. Schools provide data on entrance requirements, program costs, program characteristics, joint degrees, and much more. You can use the Guide to contact schools of your choice, examine their data, visit their web site, and send them pre applications. You can see lists of top 40 schools ranked by starting salaries of graduates, GMAT scores, and other criteria. It’s the best service available at http://officialmbaguide.org.
If so, I need some help………Can you tell me what company you work for? Salary? Benefits? Is HR a good field to get into? I will be obtaining my Associates Degree in Business in June and then pursuing my Bachelor’s Degree in Business Mangement. Should I also get a Certificate in Human Services???? Help…serious answers only
Do you know if you have to have a degree in human resources? Or can you get these certifications without a degree in HR? I work in Human Resources but my bachelor’s degree is in psychology. Am I eligible to get a PHR or SPHR certification in human resources then?
I have to complete an hr profile research paper for my human resources class….I am supposed to interview someone to find out about the recruiting/selection process…mission statements…i just have less than 20 questions that I could email to anyone interested…thanx in advance
If so, was it hard finding a job after college? Please tell me about your experiences with it so far (good and bad). Any advice? Your location?
Right now I am on route to be finished with my degree soon, it’s a undergrad degree in Organizational Management. A lot of the aspects of the degree have studied human resources related fields and I think I’d like to get in to that once I am done. Would I be able to with my degree? I think I would based on what Ive learned, do I need additional certificates or extra courses once I am done? I looked up certification and it was rather confusing.
Hi,
You need to refer to http://www.britishcouncil.org for all further help as they are the official organization appointed by the UK government to assist international students. Contact their office in your nation. Go through their website properly as they have all ranking and universities listed there.

Human resource management (HRM) is the strategic and coherent approach to the management of an organization’s most valued assets – the people working there who individually and collectively contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the business.[1] The terms “human resource management” and “human resources” (HR) have largely replaced the term “personnel management” as a description of the processes involved in managing people in organizations.[1] Human Resource management is evolving rapidly. Human resource management is both an academic theory and a business practice that addresses the theoretical and practical techniques of managing a workforce.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_resou…
