Human Resources and Employment Relations Master of Professional Studies

Get the HR Credential You Need to Advance
Your Career

In the past, human resources workers primarily managed the administrative functions of an organization’s workforce. Today, HR and employment relations professionals not only manage these important tasks, but are increasingly called on to help top executives with strategic planning.

Complex employee benefit plans, new labor laws, and the increasing need for organizations of all kinds — corporations, nonprofit organizations, government agencies, etc. — to hire and retain talented employees mean that you need to upgrade your knowledge and abilities in human resource management to advance in your career. A master’s degree is an important credential — especially if you’re seeking a top management position.
