Society for Human Resource Management

Business majors, especially those who are completing the human resource management concentration, are encouraged to join the Marian student chapter of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM).

As of May 26, 2022, Marian University aligned the undergraduate degree program of Bachelor of Science in Management with the Human Resource Specialization with the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) HR Curriculum Guidebook and Templates. Throughout the world, over 500 programs in approx. 425 educational institutions have been acknowledged by SHRM as being in alignment with its suggested guides and templates. The HR Curriculum Guidebook and Templates were developed by SHRM to define the minimum HR content areas that should be studied by HR students at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The guidelines -- created in 2006 and revalidated in 2010, 2013 and 2017 -- are part of SHRM’s Academic Initiative to define HR education standards taught in university business schools and help universities develop degree programs that follow these standards.

SHRM membership provides you with opportunities to get involved in on- and off-campus events that will broaden your perspectives and give you deeper insight into the effective management of human capital and resources (i.e., people).

Activities prepare you for management careers and provide networking opportunities with the Indiana SHRM Council, like attending the HR Indiana Annual Conference.

• National membership dues are $40 per year for students.
• Benefits include access to online resources and tools, including education and career opportunities as well as print and digital publications, including HR Magazine, free webcasts, free online member communities, and discounts on SHRM events and educational offerings.
