Nationally, the master\u2019s program is the only AACSB-accredited human resources program offered both face-to-face and online, and the undergraduate program is the only on-line HR program in the State University System of Florida. In Fall 2018, the Master\u2019s program will also be offered for the first time in Broward County, at FIU\u2019s I-75 facility, making it more accessible to additional South Florida populations. A part-time option is also available at both Miami-Dade and Broward County locations.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30092\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30092\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-30092\" title=\"Eric Cartaya and Aiko Ortega\" src=\"https:\/\/biznews.fiu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/HR-Ranking-Cartaya-and-Ortega.jpg\" alt=\"Eric Cartaya and Aiko Ortega\" width=\"400\" height=\"409\" srcset=\"https:\/\/biznews.fiu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/HR-Ranking-Cartaya-and-Ortega.jpg 457w, https:\/\/biznews.fiu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/HR-Ranking-Cartaya-and-Ortega-294x300.jpg 294w, https:\/\/biznews.fiu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/HR-Ranking-Cartaya-and-Ortega-230x235.jpg 230w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30092\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Eric Cartaya and Aiko Ortega<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The HR.com award was accepted by Eric Cartaya, faculty advisor to the FIU SHRM Student Chapter, and Aiko Ortega, program manager.
