What are the SHRM HR Curriculum Guidelines?

In an effort to define a common set of parameters for HR education, The HR Curriculum Guidebook and Templates were first published in 2006 by SHRM (The Society for Human Resource Management), the world’s largest HR professional society.

Based on extensive research, these guidelines were the result of a highly interactive, ongoing process involving academic communities and are revalidated every three to five years. They define the minimum HR content areas—commonly agreed-upon by academics, students, and HR practitioners—that should be included in an accredited Human Resources degree program.

Throughout the world, 371 programs in 277 educational institutions have been acknowledged by SHRM as being in alignment with its suggested guides and templates.
