Human Resource Management - M.S.
The Human Resource Management Master of Science degree program prepares students for careers in a variety of managerial and professional positions for a wide range of human resource firms. This program provides graduates with a broad base of knowledge to meet the ever-shifting role of human resource departments as they transition from a singular focus on the administrative functions of an operation’s workforce to employee development, business leadership and strategic planning. The Human Resource Management MS directly aligns with industry-relevant guidelines as determined by both the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) and the Human Resource Certification Institute (HRCI). See https://www.hrci.org/certifications/individual-certifications for information pertaining to PHR and SPHR certification requirements.
Upon completion of the program, graduates are expected to:
- Apply the models and theories of Human Resource Management at both the strategic and operational levels to improve overall organizational competitiveness.
- Synthesize business competencies to align the human resource functions to support the organization competitiveness and strategic initiatives.
- Develop strategies for an internal environment of diversity and inclusion that recognizes the global environment in which the organization operates.
- Apply professional standards and practices for ethical conduct, legal requirements, and regulatory guidelines in the administration of human resource policies and procedures.
