MA/MS in Human Resources Management and Services

This master's program prepares students for careers in human resource management or general administration. Courses meet in person and in a hybrid format. The degree focuses on professional practice in human resource management, development, leadership and organizational change. It suits people entering the profession as well as those who want to deepen their expertise or improve their prospects. Students gain a core education in HR fundamentals and choose electives that fit their career plans, including a pathway in industrial and organizational psychology that adds research methods, statistics and a thesis alongside training, staffing, group dynamics and leadership. The degree requires 36 hours, and experienced HR managers or directors may request a waiver of one course, completing an extra elective instead. Admission requirements and deadlines are listed separately, and degree requirements are in the Graduate Catalog.
