SHRM and HRCI offer certifications in Human Resource Management. Students can take a preparation course while still at Peace and sit for the aPHR certification through HRCI before graduation.
Once students graduate and have attained a job in HR, they can apply to take the SHRM-CP (SHRM Certified Professional). Attaining either credential will demonstrate expertise in the field.
