Program Details

This program trains students to maintain personnel records of an organization’s employees, assist with internal and external notification of position openings, assist in the hiring process, answer employee questions, prepare reports for managers, administer aptitude tests, and screen applicants.

Total Credit Hours: 180

Please see the Harrison College Course Catalog for a list of courses for this program.

* The number of "estimated total quarters" for each program assumes you are enrolled full-time (at least 12 credit hours per quarter) throughout the entire program. Students taking more than 12 credit hours in a quarter will finish in fewer quarters; likewise, students taking fewer than 12 credit hours in a quarter may require additional quarters. Transferred credits from previous colleges, testing out of classes, and successfully completing classes (avoiding having to repeat a class) may also affect program length.
