MHR & MMIS

This unique degree program is designed for students seeking to combine in-depth expertise in managing human resources (MHR) with the knowledge and skills of technologies used to understand performance, enhance retention, and improve operational performance (MMIS).

The MHR program provides students with in-depth training in the management of people in organizations. Coursework includes talent acquisition and retention, labor/employee relations, compensation and benefits, and training and organizational development. Equally important is the technological side. Technology is working its way into multiple aspects of today’s business jobs, and employees with solid analytical and technology foundations are critical in the dynamically changing market. According to an article in Forbes in 2014, the competitive landscape requires the ability of managers to turn data into actionable intelligence in real time, using Big Data-related analytical tools.
