Human Resource Management

The MBA with a concentration in Human Resource Management prepares students to take on this increasingly important role. And because it is an MBA, its approach to the HR discipline is to enhance student’s business acumen first and foremost, along with the ability to drive change. The program lays a foundation in standard business administration topics, weaving topics like leadership, marketing, finance and accounting throughout the coursework. Employees may be an organization’s greatest asset, but it takes skilled leadership to tap their full potential. An MBA in HRM can be a powerful tool for HR leaders seeking the most effective ways to motivate and train their workforces and to hire, retain and promote the best people.
