Human Resource Management
Human Resource Management
The Flex MBA with an emphasis in Human Resource Management is designed to prepare students for successful careers in the field of human resource management. The emphasis-specific curriculum has been designed to adhere to educational guidelines set forth by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), the premier professional association for the human resource field.
NOTE: Because the Master of Science in Human Resource Management (MSHRM) program is no longer accepting applications (as of Spring 2022), the MBA-HRM is an excellent option. Not only does this graduate program provide specialized electives in HR management but it also equips graduates with a broad-based MBA education which is highly regarded in all industries.
