Program Outline and Requirements
Two courses must be completed to receive a certificate of completion. A grade of "C" or better must be obtained in each course. Courses carry Continuing Education Units (CEU) and hold no academic unit value and cannot be counted towards a degree unless a university or university department agrees.
Courses must be taken in sequence. HRMX 8041 is offered in the Fall Semester, HRMX 8042 is offered during the Spring Semester. Students with demonstrated HR experience may be eligible to take HRMX 8042 without first completing HRMX 8041. Both courses are required to receive a certificate.

*The CSU makes every effort to keep student costs to a minimum. Fees listed in published schedules or student accounts may need to be increased when public funding is inadequate. Therefore, the CSU must reserve the right, even after fees are initially charged or initial fee payments are made, to increase or modify any listed fees. All listed fees, other than mandatory systemwide fees, are subject to change without notice, until the date when instruction for a particular semester or quarter has begun. All CSU listed fees should be regarded as estimates that are subject to change upon approval by The Board of Trustees, the Chancellor, or the Presidents, as appropriate. Changes in mandatory systemwide fees will be made in accordance with the requirements of the Working Families Student Fee Transparency and Accountability Act (Sections 66028 -66028.6 of the Education Code).

There are two payment options for your convenience:
