Interested in associate's degree in human resource management from Virginia College. Any suggestions?
Trying to get feedback from anyone who went into this field from Virginia College. I'm not sure about salary and job searches after you graduate. I'm concerned with the reputation of Virginia College in the workplace.

you will get a much better return if you get a 4 year degree.

Most employers looking for a human resources officer generally require at least a bachelor's degree in the field. However, the associate's degree is definitely a start. That being said, it looks like Virginia College is not regionally accredited. It's website says it is "Accredited by the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools," which is NOT a regional accreditation agency. Regional accreditation is CRUCIAL in the USA in order to have your degree universally recognized. Therefore, as a career/technical school, the curriculum will help you. The degree itself, though, is not going to be accepted by all employers.

Human Resource Management is the preferable field, versus Health Care Management. The Reason: - more opportunities - more potential jobs - higher starting salary - can be used in a number of areas (such as politics, for later on) Health Care Management is restricted in its application and the opportunities are limited and confined. Good luck in your future endeavours.

Can I use a business management degree to get in to personal management or human resource management

Can I use a business management degree to get in to personal management or human resource management?
I am currently in school for Criminal Justice to become a Paralegal, but I am not liking that path and I want to switch degrees. Can anyone tell me if a business degree is acceptable in personal management or human resource management? Business is the only thing close enough to human resource that they offer.

Yep, most degrees are NOT confined to just one area of careers. With that business degree and depending on the school system, you might be able to teach in some of their schools.

you have have to switch majors and take human resources related courses - without the courses and probably a 4 yr degree in HR, you will never get a job in that field

Background qualifications for probation officers and correctional treatment specialists vary by State, but a bachelor’s degree in social work, criminal justice, or a related field is usually required. Some employers require previous experience or a master’s degree in criminal justice, social work, psychology, or a related field. Human resources would not quailfy as a related field.

Yes you can, and at the same you have to go through intrusive background check.
