HRM Capstone
The HRM Capstone is the culminating experience of the Georgetown Master’s in HRM program. It represents a crowning achievement as a capstone does in architecture, and provides students with an opportunity to apply the HR knowledge, skills and competencies gained from all their coursework to complex real-world organizational challenges. Through the culminating experience, students complete unique and original projects that make a creative contribution that advances an organization or the HR profession. This contribution may take the form of a consulting engagement with a partner organization or an applied research project. Depending on the nature of your project, you may work individually or on a small team — under the guidance of an expert advisor. Your semester-long project may be broad-based or focused on a specialized area of HR, and requires you to demonstrate mastery of the seven program learning outcomes: creative & critical thinking, global competence, ethical reasoning and values, applied problem solving, information literacy, technological competence, and communication. Note: This course is a core requirement for the MPS degree. A grade of “B” or higher is needed to pass this course.
Note: This course is completed online asynchronously. The program team must register you for this course - please contact your academic advisor for help registering!

Strategic Leadership
In a world defined by constant change, there has never been a more urgent need for strategic leaders who can inspire people, unify teams, and drive meaningful impact across organizations. Rising to this challenge requires self-awareness, resilience, and the ability to turn vision into action. This course examines the theory and practice of leadership, guiding students from personal growth to organizational influence. Structured around three core themes—leadership foundations, leading and building high-performing teams, and leadership for growth and change—the course equips students with evidence-based tools to strengthen collaboration, manage conflict, coach and mentor others, and communicate with impact. You will discover your personal leadership brand, improve your emotional intelligence, and enhance your ability to lead diverse teams. Through case studies, applied exercises, and individualized leadership projects, students will learn to drive innovation, lead change, and foster cross-functional collaboration. By the end of the course, you will be prepared to navigate complexity, build resilient teams, and make a lasting impact within organizations and beyond.
