Preparatory Coursework
Choices that you make regarding general education (or BOK ... Breadth of Knowledge) classes can position you well for the future courses that may interest you. Here are some examples:

Taking General Psychology (PSYC 101) fulfills the prerequisite for psychology courses like Interviewing (PSYC 330), a terrific elective for HR students.
Communication and the Human Condition (COMM 107) prepares you for the sequence of communication courses that culminate in the Certificate in Conflict Analysis and Resolution.
Introduction to Sociology (SOCI 101) prepares you for advanced classes like Occupations and Professions (SOCA 371) which may be of interest.
Courses like Diversity Law (POLS 315 and 316) become an option if you take American Politics (POLS 100)
While the catalog lists a defined set of courses that are automatically accepted as electives toward an HR concentration, the HR faculty has some leeway where students can customize a program to suit their particular interests. As an example�Given that domestic violence can spill over into the workplace issues for HR to address, a student who had taken Introduction to Criminal Justice (CRMJ 101) was allowed, after consultation with their advisor, to take Domestic Violence (CRMJ 305) as an elective on her HR concentration.

The key here is that electives for the HR concentration generally need to be upper division courses, numbered 300 or higher. Most disciplines require prerequisites for upper division courses. Using your own General Education requirements to me those prerequisites is a great strategy to position yourself for efficient program completion.
