Scores come from IPEDS (2024) and the U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard. Earnings are for all graduates of a school, not one program, so treat them as a signal about the institution rather than about this subject. Sponsored listings are paid placements and are labelled as such; they are separate from this ranking and never change it. Read the full methodology.

What Human Resources Specialists Earn in South Carolina

The South Carolina median for human resources specialists is $65,370 per year, below the national median of $75,940, on state employment of 13,720 (BLS OEWS, May 2025).

These are statewide figures. The Bureau of Labor Statistics does not publish wages at city level, so no page can tell you what this job pays in Greenwood specifically. For the metro-level picture where it is published, and the full percentile spread, see the South Carolina page.

Choosing a Human Resources Management Program From Greenwood

The subject matter does not change by location: employment law and compliance, talent acquisition, compensation and benefits, employee and labor relations, and HR analytics. What changes is how you take it. Ask each college whether the program holds accreditation from a recognized institutional accreditor, how much of the coursework is delivered online, and which components require you on campus. Credit transfer is decided by the receiving institution and genuinely varies, so request a written transfer evaluation before you enroll.
