Troy Campus

Curriculum

Our Troy campus curriculum is flexible and designed to accommodate the demanding schedules and practical needs of working professionals. Classes include lectures and hands-on discussions of real-life issues, and students engage in case analyses, team exercises, and individual work-related projects and assignments. Blending in-class and some online instruction, classes meet no more than one evening a week from 6:00 p.m. – 9 p.m.

Our program is based on a three-semester academic year, allowing students to enroll in one or two courses each term. By taking two courses each semester, students graduate in two years; by taking one course each semester, students graduate in four years. In addition, students who have recently completed comparable coursework in other graduate programs may be approved to transfer up to six credit hours toward the MHRLR degree

Our curriculum provides immediate value to both working professionals and their employers seeking to build internal organizational talent and capacity. Students develop the skills and gain the tools that:

  • Allow them to perform their current jobs more effectively
  • Prepare them for new assignments and greater responsibilities in various HR/LR functions
  • Provide them with the capabilities to partner effectively with line management in creating high-performance work systems

Upon graduation, most students can expect to find that their demonstrated mastery of HR/LR skills will be rewarded with substantially greater advancement and earnings opportunities. Graduates also enjoy the benefits of a vast professional network of highly successful alumni, located throughout the U.S. and abroad. These personal contacts – based on a shared affiliation with the School of Labor & Industrial Relations and MSU – will prove invaluable over the life of their careers.
