I'm a sophomore in college and haven't definitively declared my major so I want to make sure I am making the right decision by posting my questions (in bold) since I am considering the field of HR. Is a degree in HR management essential to success in the field or would another degree such as communications with a focus on communicaion studies (interpersonal, intercultural, organizational, gender, etc.) and a minor in human resources suffice?? The HR program at my school is pretty lengthy (15 to 18 hrs a semester) and I would probably spend a year catching up on business core requirements (they start in freshman year) which would add an extra year to a four-year degree while taking it as a minor would ensure me graduating on time. Should I take the extra time and finish an HR degree or take it as a minor instead??
