The Maser of Professional Studies (MPS) in Human Resources consists of 30 credits (10 courses).  A minimum cumulative GPA of 3.00 (solid "B") is required for good standing and to be eligible for graduation.  In addition to the Ethics and Capstone courses, which are required for all MPS degrees, each concentration offered within the Human Resources program requires specific courses as described below. 

As the Diversity profession has emerged, so too has the need for research and practice that will ensure that an organization has professionals that will help them effectively execute a successful diversity effort. It is also necessary for an organization's plans to focus on creating measurable ways diversity can support the strategic direction, goals and objectives of the organization. Given the centrality of diversity to business and organizational life, there is a need to develop and educate a cadre of professionals who will have the academic and practical skills needed to help organizations integrate and leverage diversity. All of our courses use an interdisciplinary approach which includes: law, H.R., policy, humanities, quantitative analysis, measurement, organizational development and others to help students address issues of diversity and inclusion in the context of organizational dynamics and with a view to capitalizing on diversity and inclusion as core organizational imperatives. Central to all of our courses is the development and articulation of a sound, viable, valid value proposition for diversity. Students will spend a week at Queen Mary College, University of London in a unique immersion program where they will be instructed by Queen Mary Faculty on Diversity and Inclusion in the global context.

Please note that course offerings are subject to change at the discretion of the university.
