COSC General Studies HR concentration - BigDaddy1 - 02-17-2020

I have been able to match up the requirements for the human resource concentration with study.com except for 3 classes:
1) SOC 449: Workplace Issues/Diversity
2) MGT 431: Performance, Compensation, and Benefits
3) HRM 311: Managing People in a Global Economy

Do any of you know what would substitute for these??  I am open to other avenues than study.com, but I know many upper level credits come from that source.  

Thank you!!

For SOC 449
SOC 305: Sociology of Work - Study.com (this should work for sure)

MAN-330: International Management - Davar

Instead of the General Studies major with a HR concentration, I would suggest you look into the the Business Administration major with a HR concentration at COSC.

You could probably take these three courses at Study.com for the HR concentration:
Business 306: Strategic Human Resources Management
Business 325: Union & Labor Relations
Business 319: Negotiations & Conflict Management

I agree that the BSBA/HR would be easier to get the required courses. Although for whatever reason, the BSBA has fewer HR courses...

And another reason you want to get the BSBA vs the General Studies is on the parchment/transcript, your degree is a BS in Business Admin vs a BS in General Studies. No matter how many courses/credits you have in the BSGS even if it's similar or identical to your BSBA, it's still going to a General Studies degree. As others mentioned - Get the BSBA at COSC with your HR concentration instead.
