Master of Human Resource Management

The Master of Human Resource Management (MHRM) degree consists of graduate-level courses designed for professionals seeking a deeper theoretical and practical understanding of management principles related to human resources.

Courses examine traditional functions such as recruitment and retention, development and compensation and benefits. The program also covers emerging disciplines like HR information systems and leadership theory, the impact of globalization and workforce diversity.

With small class sizes (the average is 12-15 students) and adjunct professors who are themselves working professionals in the HR sector, our HRM classes provide opportunities to study cutting-edge theory and to apply that theory in real-world settings — sometimes even the next day at work.

MHRM and HRM graduate certificate students study together in core classes, providing rich opportunities to learn from peers who are currently working in the HR sector.

The MHRM requires 30 semester hours of graduate coursework split between six core courses and four 600-level courses. The degree does not require a thesis, and we accept up to six semester hours of applicable transfer work.
