Emmanuel's goal is to educate highly productive human resource leaders, critical thinkers, contributors to the community, and responsive decision-makers. Through the skills and networks acquired in this program, students will be able to respond to the specific challenges of the field of human resource management.

The Format: Supporting Professional Growth The programs are offered in a convenient, accelerated format on campus in Boston, Quincy and Woburn, or online. On-campus courses meet just one evening per week in seven-week sessions. Online courses are also delivered in seven-week sessions, but in an asynchronous format. Courses in the online program are offered in a cohort model with two starts per year: fall (September) and spring (January). The on-campus program offers an additional summer start in May.

A Master of Science in Human Resource Management can be earned in two years with the completion of 36 credits. Students should apply to the program from which they intend to graduate.

The Curriculum: A Cutting-Edge Approach The knowledge and skills gained in the graduate-level human resource management curriculum can be immediately applied on the job. Using a case study approach and interactive technology platforms, our instructors cover critical elements of human resource management, including communication, negotiation, hiring, compensation, and benefits. Students further their understanding through interaction with a growing network of current and future leaders in the human resource field.
