Master of Science in Human Resource
Management

The master of science in human resource management degree is designed for any professional who is looking to have a positive impact on their organization and career. You’ll study the dynamics of effective human resource management and learn how to consider the perspectives of both employees and employers; the causes and effects of downsizing; the importance of upgrading skills; and how people react to change. You’ll look at what managers and employees are likely to face in the future, and how to ascertain that companies follow legal requirements in dealing with employees. You’ll get an ever-deepening understanding of how to interact with people — an asset not only in business but in every aspect of your life. Our core program concentrates on international, general and strategic human resource management, employment law and human resource information systems.
