The MBA/HRM program is designed to meet the
needs of a broad but unique population - the
working adult manager or supervisor who could
benefit from a graduate business education.
Because the tools of the human resources management
science are applicable to the problems of the
public sector as well as the private sector,
students whose career interests involve not-for-profit
enterprise are also encouraged to seek admission.
The MBA/HRM program requires a practical background
in business, and the successful candidate will
have a least three years of
relevant experience.
The various components of the program-curriculum,
learning resources, and faculty- have been
selected to produce specified outcomes. These
outcomes, while reflecting contemporary academic
practice, also focus on the functional competencies
required of working manager. Thus, the MBA/HRM
program emphasizes the identification, analysis,
and solution of complex human resources management
problems that require technical understanding
and blackened decision making. Although a functional
knowledge of managerial economics, accounting,
finance, quantitative analysis, and human resources
management underlies the program, equal attention
is given to the development of report writing,
oral reporting, and group processing skills.
Students develop additional expertise in the
solution of persistent human resources management
problems through the completion of a research
project, which relates the student's professional
interests or responsibilities of the goal of
improved human resources managerial functioning.
The research project on human resources management,
therefore, serves not only to provide a vehicle
for the application of theory to practice,
but also serves to demonstrate that the MBA/HRM
candidate can perform in a variety of sophisticated
management roles with the confidence and self-discipline
expected of the MBA/HRM program graduate.
