The MS HRM is designed to prepare students for one of the most exciting careers in the 21st century.  In an effort to enhance morale and productivity, limit job turnover, and help organizations increase performance and improve business results, human resource managers are responsible for the design and implementation of recruitment, selection, compensation, training, career, and performance management systems.  Human resource managers are responsible for bringing out the best in an organization’s most important asset: its people. In addition, today’s human resource managers increasingly consult with top executives regarding strategic planning.
The curriculum is designed for both current human resource professionals and qualified college graduates with an interest in human resource management.  Coursework focuses on both the behavioral and legal perspectives essential in creating effective organizational human resource policies and practices. 

What types of jobs are available to those with a MS HRM? There are many types of human resource managers or specialists.  In a small organization, a human resources generalist may handle all aspects of human resources work, and thus require an extensive range of knowledge. In a large corporation, the director of human resources may supervise several departments, each headed by an experienced manager who most likely specializes in one human resource activity, such as employment and placement; compensation and benefits; training and development; or labor relations. HRM jobs also exist outside of corporations. For example, there are HRM jobs in public service organizations and in consulting firms. The latter are doing work for corporate and public service organizations that outsource some of their HRM functions. According to the Bureau of Labor statistics, positions in HRM are expected to grow by 17 percent between 2006 and 2016, faster than the average for all occupations. In addition, salaries for many human resource management positions are rising faster than overall U.S. salaries, according to a survey conducted by the consulting firm of William M. Mercer, in conjunction with the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM).
