TAMPA, Fla., Feb. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Villanova University, ranked by U.S. News & World Report as the #1 Regional University in the North for nearly two decades, is pleased to announce that their online Human Resource Management course has been revised.

The Human Resource Management course, part of Villanova's 3-course Master Certificate in Human Resource Management, has been updated to not only reflect the recent Body of Knowledge changes, but also features over 18 hours of enhanced video lectures given by Villanova's expert faculty. The courses also incorporate interactive, skill-enhancing simulations that will better prepare students for the new PHR® and SPHR® certification exams.
