Department of Organization and Human Resources

The Department of Organization and Human Resources in the UB School of Management focuses on workforce management, consulting and organizational behavior and administration.

An undergraduate concentration in Human Resources Management is designed to prepare students for careers in human resources management and industrial relations. Classroom knowledge can be complemented with an internship to gain experience in these fields.

MBA students can customize their academic programs by choosing either the Workforce Management option or Management Consulting option, both offered through our department. The Workforce Management option introduces students to a variety of “people” problems and solutions. The Management Consulting option builds both internal (acting as a consultant to your own company) and external consulting skills, especially in diagnosing problems, building client relationships, developing workable solutions and monitoring the effectiveness of change.

MBA students wishing to further develop and refine their leadership proficiencies may apply to the School of Management’s Leadership PACE (Personal Achievement through Competency Evaluation) program. Created and taught by members of the Organization and Human Resources Department, Leadership PACE focuses on emotional intelligence and the core competencies that set top managers apart from the rest, specifically teamwork, communication, interpersonal and cultural sensitivity, and planning and organizing skills. The school typically selects 25-30 students to participate in the Leadership PACE program each academic year.
