If you are a Human Resource (HR) professional, are considering becoming one, or have a significant amount of HR duties and responsibilities as part of your general management position, a master degree in HR might be right for you.
Many of the programs below have curriculums that are aligned with the Society for Human Resource Management's (SHRM) standards. However, for those that are not or that do not explicitly state that they are, do not discount the quality of the curriculum; all of the programs below are recognized for offering quality online graduate-level HR programs, regardless of their stated affiliation with SHRM.
As you scroll down our list, you will notice that we have included programs wide-ranging in costs (from Low to High and quite a bit in-between). Although we at Management Works do not think that a University's name recognition should be given too much weight when choosing a master's in HR, we do recognize the value placed on it by others. Therefore, we wanted to present at least a few higher-end options for your consideration. Additionally, some of the below programs require previous work experience, while some do not (click on the "Program Details" tab below each program for more information on work experience [and other] requirements).
Lastly, this list is not all-inclusive. We have included what we think is a solid representation of the types of options available, but, as we do with all of our lists, we encourage you to conduct your search beyond this list. There are a lot of good resources out there, so please use them.
Once you make it through this list, we encourage you to compare what you have found with our lists of programs in management/leadership, business administration, public administration, and even our list of assorted management/administration specializations.
So, scroll on and enjoy this initial research stage as much as you can--after all, it is arguably the single most important stage in your journey to obtaining a degree.
