The human resources department serves as the roots and anchor of successful businesses and organizations. As a human resource advocate of the people, you need the expertise to create a work environment in which people will be motivated to contribute to the organizations’ growth and success.
That’s why Webster University’s Master of Arts in Human Resources Development focuses on the skills and knowledge needed to work with people in various employment settings. Courses draw upon the social and behavioral sciences and management theory to help you understand the human relations issues confronting both individuals and organizations.
The program combines organizational development, training and development, management, and career management studies to investigate all aspects of human resources utilization and development. Coursework focuses on maximizing the importance of human intervention to change complex organizational systems.
In light of today's heightened need for advanced training and education, Webster University also offers the human resources development master's degree online, providing students with flexibility to meet their busy schedules.
