Overview

The Master of Science (MS) degree in Human Resource Development (HRD) is designed for professionals seeking to lead and implement talent development, talent management, and performance strategies within diverse organizational contexts. With a strong emphasis on data and value, the program guides students in evaluating assumptions, clarifying problems or opportunities, and designing and executing interventions such as learning strategies, onboarding programs, process improvements, e-learning solutions, and performance evaluations. Students assess the impact and value of these strategies through the interconnected lenses of change, learning, and performance. Organizations today face several key challenges, including: Embedding learning in the flow of work Addressing learning through the performance lens Identifying the value and impact of talent-related strategies Building capability for competitiveness and sustainability Executing strategies as "change" The HRD degree program directly addresses these challenges by collaborating with companies to create situated learning experiences that apply theoretical concepts in real-world settings. Through this approach, students are able to elaborate on key concepts, transfer learning to practice, gain professional experience, and expand their networks. The program maintains a strong and relevant connection between academic learning and the practical work performed by HRD professionals in organizations.

OPT and STEM OPT eligibility depend on maintaining F-1 status and on the program. A program counts as STEM only when its CIP code is on the official STEM list — not because its name sounds technical.
