HR career with Management Degree?

[dfrecore]

To get a decent job in HR (you'll probably start towards the bottom/mid and work your way up), a degree in Business w/some HR courses is fine. If you want to get a certification, you should actually look at jobs in your area and see what's asked for; there are 2 major ones, but it depends on where you live as to which is more requested (PHR from HCRI or SHRM).

I've never even heard of a CHRP, so I probably wouldn't recommend that.

There are also certs within some of the specializations. If you're working in compensation, a CCP is sometimes required (Certified Compensation Professional). If you're in Benefits, a CBP might be required (Certified Benefits Professional). These are more expensive but more comprehensive than a Graduate Certificate, so I would save your money - find out what you want to work as, and see what you need to get after you're done with your BSBA.
