Professional Development for HR Professionals

Human resource professionals help attract and retain the best people for your organization. We’ll help you advance with industry-recognized certifications and skill development areas.

    The CCP® designation stands out as the premier certification for professionals specializing in compensation management. Choosing the CCP® route signifies a commitment to mastering the intricate dynamics of compensation and rewards within organizations. Unlike other certifications, the CCP® focuses specifically on this critical aspect of business, offering in-depth knowledge and practical skills tailored to excel in roles related to compensation design, implementation, and management.

    Each Continuing Education Unit (CEU) earned through the CCP® contributes directly towards one credit in the Master of Science in Administration program. This means that participants can earn up to 9 credits toward their degree just by completing the Certified Compensation Professional (CCP®) designation.
