and develop their employees. HR professionals play a key role in recruitment, training,
employee relations, and workplace success. Students with backgrounds in English, History,

interpersonal, and organizational skills that are highly valued in human resources
careers. Whether supporting hiring efforts, coordinating employee training, or recruiting
