Human Resource Management

Reflecting changes in industry, we have developed the Executive MS in Human Resource Management program to meet the evolving needs of professional HR managers. This program builds on its predecessor, the MSILR program, and incorporates several updated and new courses. The program has enhanced offerings in business communication, as well as an international learning experience, which is becoming more important for executive-level HR leaders in multinational organizations. This course includes site visits and meetings with HR leaders of international companies to discuss (and comparatively study) core elements of the staffing and people management process in mid- and large-size organizations that act globally. It incorporates a capstone project that serves as a culminating experience of the program.

The Executive MS in Human Resource Management program leads to a Master of Science degree.

 Degree Requirements

­­Students must earn 30 credits for the MS degree, maintain a cumulative 3.00 grade point average (GPA), and satisfy all Baruch College, Zicklin School of Business and Executive Programs policies, rules, and regulations.

A student whose GPA falls below 3.00 after taking 9 or more credits in the program will be on academic probation. He or she must comply with all Baruch College requirements of probation status to continue in the program. Please refer to the current Baruch College Graduate Bulletin, discussion of General Academic Regulations, for information on these requirements.

Because this is a cohort program, all students take the same courses together and in the same order. Many of the later courses in the program have one of the earlier core courses as prerequisites. Any student who enters probation status may thus not be able to complete the EMS HRM program within the period of about 20 months.

Students in this cohort program will be registered for 6 or more credits each semester.
