The evolving workplace and work force continually present employers with challenges — skills shortages, family considerations, diversity issues, global competition for labor. To stay competitive in this environment, organizations rely on human resources managers to develop employees’ skills, increase productivity and insure job satisfaction.

Football in Hand: Bring out the Best in your Team








THE MARQUETTE ADVANTAGE

BRING OUT THE BEST IN YOUR TEAM. Through elective work in motivation, leadership, negotiation and compensation, you’ll learn what it takes to be a fair, effective and successful leader. Who knows, maybe you’ll be the next Vince Lombardi (a Jesuit university graduate) and have your ideas framed and emulated by millions.

LEARN TO LEAD. To manage others you need to listen attentively, think decisively, communicate clearly and act ethically. Marquette’s unique combination of liberal arts and business courses will help you strengthen your personal and business skills simultaneously.

INTERNSHIPS. Develop management skills while you build your personal network through internships with high-profile Milwaukee-area firms such as GE Healthcare, Harley-Davidson, Miller Brewing Co. and Manpower Inc.

JOIN A CAREER PATH ON THE RISE. A recent U.S. Department of Labor study reports that employment in human resources management is expected to jump by 20 percent in the coming decade.

MASTER THE SCIENCE OF HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT. After earning your bachelor’s degree in human resources management, you can stay for one more year and complete a master of science in human resources management, raising your prospects for employment — and pay.
