Academic Program

The Master of Science in Human Resources Design (H.R.D.) prepares graduates to participate in strategic decisions involving their organizations’ most important assets—their human resources. The program enables students to acquire and upgrade the critical skills necessary to help an organization achieve its goals in a diverse society within a rapidly changing environment. HRD equips students to help organizations establish and maintain more effective human resources policies; manage a diverse workforce; understand how social, regulatory, and technical changes affect human resource requirements; and design and manage organizational change.

Admissions

Applications are accepted throughout the year, although applications received by January 15 receive priority consideration for financial aid for fall admission. Applicants are admitted on the basis of letters of recommendation, a personal statement, GRE or GMAT scores, a résumé, and undergraduate transcripts. A personal interview with the program staff is recommended. While most students are employed in the human resources profession, other qualified students also are accepted.
