If you are going for an undergraduate degree, you have a wider choice of colleges to choose from - all colleges with business and humanities programs will offer at least one HR program. You can get admission into an undergraduate program with an average SAT score, however a higher score definitely is a big plus. A typical undergraduate program in HR will last for four years and will cover topics such as labor relations, accounting, social psychology, with a smattering of other humanities subjects. Many of these colleges also offer online certifications and degree courses too. So if you are a working professional, you may find them easy to take them at your own time.
