 University of Phoenix
Program: The Master in Business Administration with a specialization in Human Resource Management (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.

Industry Description
Contrary to popular opinion, human resources is about more than just hiring and firing the right people. It’s about understanding how people are integral to a business’ success, and implementing the proper procedures to make everyone on staff as productive as possible. Because of this diversity of duties, being trained as a human resource specialist can be a thrilling choice, preparing you for a long and varying career.
An interdisciplinary background is ideal for this field, which translates into a wide variety of coursework when you begin your human resource training. Relevant courses of study include business administration, psychology, economics, and statistics. Your education then advances into more specialized training, where you learn how to recruit and hire the best people, how to train and develop personnel, and how to conduct performance appraisals. This makes adding computer, information technology, and communication classes vital to your human resource training.
While general courses provide the foundation for most entry-level positions, combining these with more intensive fields of interest will qualify you for more senior jobs. Gaining a background in labor law and history, industrial relations, or even political science will make it easier for you to apply for many positions in labor relations or business administration.
In addition to human resource classes, many degree programs offer internships that give you firsthand experience in the field, experience you can then take with you into the workplace. This, as much as any of your other training, turns you from a willing student into a valuable commodity for any company.
