What does emphasis mean in a degree title?

Question

I am going for a Operational Management with an emphasis on Human Resources Management degree. I am not sure what it means by emphasis. I just really want a HR degree but this is what's being offered to me. Is it better to have a degree with a emphasis in something or just have a HR degree?

Answer 1

An emphasis is what you are focusing on within your major. So you will have an operational management degree, but the focus and education will be primarily within HR.

Answer 4

As someone already perfectly explained, and emphasis is when you focus on a particular subject. This degree is obviously related to HR although I would prefer to read for a degree in HRM or HRM + Development. Moreover if you're from the UK I would suggest following the degrees offered by CIPD, alternatively if you're not a UK citizen you can opt to follow such degrees by distance learning.
