Human Resource Development B.H.R.D.
Human Resource Development
Semester Plan
The nature of the Human Resource Development major excludes it from ACT 1014 eight-semester degree-completion program requirements. The HRDE degree is a 120 hour degree in accordance with ACT 747.
Presented below is a typical plan for completing this degree in four semesters; individual student plans may vary significantly.
If fewer credits than needed are earned through technical credits, completing additional appropriate coursework will require heavier course loads and/or additional semesters to graduate. The 19 hours of technical requirements can be completed at any time during the four semester program. Students are not required to complete courses during the summer, but courses may be offered. Students may be able to finish the program sooner if they enroll in summer courses.

The General Education Curriculum is designed to measure specific knowledge, skills, and attitudes developed by students at the University of Arkansas. Since the pre-program requirements are most likely completed at other institutions, learning outcomes 1.1, 2.1, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 will not be measured in this program.
