Innovation is a critically important component of academia, and the faculty is responsible for continually attending to the curriculum to ensure its relevance. Courses are updated, renamed, and even completely restructured. New programs are conceived that meet the evolving needs of business and students. Nothing stays the same aside from the fundamentals in each business discipline; everything else, though, is in flux. It’s up to the faculty to stay ahead of the changes around them.
To that end, the College of Business is pleased to announce the launch of a new M.S. degree in Strategic Human Resource Management this coming fall semester, the result of a core group of Management faculty who sensed the need, and then put their minds together to craft an entirely new program.
The program is offered completely online, and comprises 31 credit hours. It is accredited by AACSB, and includes a prep course for the SHRM (Society of Human Resource Managers) CP/SCP certification exam.
With four core themes in the program, students will acquire essential HR competencies, be exposed to leadership and ethics precepts, sharpen their business acumen, and broaden their skills in working with and leading an increasing variety of individuals both domestically and internationally.
