Graduate Study

Human Resource Management.  The school`s master of human resource management (M.H.R.M.) degree is one of the top human resource management programs in the United States. Graduates of this program are working in major corporations, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations across the country. While the M.H.R.M. degree prepares students to assume human resource generalist or specialist positions, it also is appropriate for line managers who want to learn how to develop and manage people better.

The program helps students develop skills in recruiting, selecting, compensating, training, and developing employees. At the same time, it gives students a knowledge of human resource information systems, performance management, and human resource planning within a strategy framework. The student body comprises individuals from throughout the United States and the world. Program participants come from a variety of undergraduate majors and work experiences.

Labor and Employment Relations.  The master of labor and employment relations (M.L.E.R.) degree provides a broad, multidisciplinary education in employment relations. The program helps students develop their professional skills, while they explore contemporary employment problems.

At present, faculty and students are examining the causes and consequences of changes in labor relations practices, the relation of work and family, contingent employment, new forms of work organization and compensation, employment globalization, and workplace justice.

Graduates leave the school prepared for careers in the labor movement, in labor relations for private- and public-sector employers, and in government agencies that regulate employment.

Industrial Relations and Human Resources.   The Ph.D. in industrial relations and human resources is designed to prepare students for teaching and research careers in industrial relations and human resource management. The program, which enrolled its first students in 1990, has developed a national reputation for its high standards.

Executive Masters in Human Resource Leadership.  In addition to the on-campus programs, there is a special executive track for the master`s degree. This executive track is designed for mid- to upper-level HR executives who are sponsored by their companies. Applicants must meet special criteria in order to be considered for this program. For additional information about the executive track, please contact Beverly Brossoie at brossoie@rci.rutgers.edu.
