Program Overview
Return to the School of Business and Management Homepage
The Master of Science in Human Resources Management (MSHRM) degree was developed with the guidance of human resources professionals and is aligned with the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) HR Curriculum Guidebook and Templates. Members from New Jersey and across the nation identified the characteristics that would make a graduate degree valuable: a broad-based knowledge of the business they serve; skills in managing a human resources enterprise; and the vision and ability to become strategic business partners. With the increasing demand for academic credentials in the human resources field, working professionals need high-quality, accessible degree options that they can complete while they continue to work.
The MSHRM, a practitioner focused degree, develops the human resources management competencies identified through extended research about what makes effective human resources practitioners.
The program’s content and design are grounded in current best practices and directed toward preparing human resources professionals to become strategic partners within their organizations.
