Strategic Human Capital Management Certificate

Frequently asked questions


Who should consider this program?

This program is designed for PHR, SPHR, and GPHRs and other human resources staff who are dedicated to staying current with the rapidly changing HR profession.

As a designated HR professional, am I required to become recertified?

In order for HR professionals to retain their PHR, SPHR or GPHR designations, the HR Certification Institute (HRCI) requires all certificants to recertify every three years either by accumulating 60 educational hours through continuing education, instruction, on-the-job experience, research and publishing, leadership activities, or membership in a national or international professional organization such as the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), or by retaking the examination (“recertification by examination”). For details, visit HR Certification Institute (HRCI).

What is 'Strategic Management' credit?

The Strategic Management domain of the PHR/SPHR Body of Knowledge encompasses those HR responsibilities that fall outside the traditional human resources function. Continuing education in Strategic Management is designed to encourage HR professionals to learn more about relevant topics in business and management in order to be able to make a greater contribution to organizational success. Therefore, if the main focus of the continuing education activity is business-related (i.e. educating the HR professional in relevant aspects of finance, marketing, information technology, etc) it is considered by HRCI to be 'Strategic Management.'

What are the requirements for enrollment in this program?

There are no formal requirements for enrollment in this certificate program. It is helpful if participants are at least PHR designated or have at least three or more years working in the HR field in a management position.

Does this certificate meet the requirements for recertification credits?

The University of Delaware's Strategic Human Capital Management Certificate has been approved for 43 (Specified -Strategic) recertification credit hours toward PHR, SPHR and GPHR recertification through the Human Resource Certification Institute.

After completion of the course, how do I submit my recertification credits?

When you successfully complete this program, you will be provided with the information you need to send to the HR Certification Institute to apply for your recertification credits. For details, visit HRCI and download the HRCI Recertification Handbook.
