Northeastern University's Master of Science in Human Resources Management program is designed to prepare you to be a strategic business partner by helping you make the connection between an organization's strategy and its people. The program focuses on the emerging human resource competencies and skills needed to navigate the evolving human resources field, including the transformational impact of technologies such as artificial intelligence and Big Data.

 

Key highlights of the master's in HRM include: 

  • Two learning formats available – on-ground in Boston and 100% online, giving students the flexibility they need to master the complexities of the human resources field
  • Opportunity to pursue cutting-edge competencies that align with trends that are reshaping the human resources industry, including: Digital HR, Artificial Intelligence for Human Resources, Global Talent Management, Project Management, Leadership, and Organizational Communication
  • Valuable hands-on experience through our experiential network, which gives students the opportunity to gain real-world experience - and a competitive edge in the growing job market. This includes a virtual HR consulting project in the capstone course
  • We recognize the knowledge and HR competencies demonstrated by those who have earned their SHRM-CP, SHRM-SCP, PHR, or SPHR certifications. As a result, credential-holders have the unique opportunity to accelerate through the master's degree program at a lower cost as these certifications are eligible for transfer credit

 

"We know that digital technologies are rapidly changing jobs and the way we work in general. The master's in human resources management is designed to provide human resource professionals with the skills and competencies they will need to meet the challenges of the digital era and to nurture every organization's most valuable asset - its people." -Carl Zangerl, PhD, Faculty Director
