Program Overview
 

In today's highly competitive business environment, the roles and responsibilities of human resource professionals have become increasingly critical for corporate success. Human resource management (HRM) professionals must understand human resource issues and management trends in a competitive global economy as well as a broad spectrum of state and federal employment legislation.

The Shidler College of Business at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa (UHM) offers a graduate program leading to the master of human resource management. The program enhances the skills of those already working in the field of HRM as well as those interested in pursuing a career in this field. The program's accelerated executive format is especially geared toward working professionals, specifically customized to equip HR managers with the tools to meet effectively the challenges of an ever-changing business climate. The curriculum provides advanced education in staffing, training, compensation, benefits, career development, health and safety, and labor relations. A firm foundation in employment law is provided, in order to assist HR managers in dealing with the increasing legal and regulatory requirements of their field.

The program uses a cohort style of learning, where each class goes through the entire program together. This cohort structure provides excellent networking for shared experiences and a collaborative learning environment. Individual students may join the cohort for selected courses of study on a space-available basis.

The Shidler College of Business is ranked in the top 25 among the nation's best graduate schools for international business by U.S. News & World Report. It is the only school in Hawai'i accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB International) and is a member of the Graduate Management Admissions Council. Many of Hawai'i's top business leaders are graduates of the college.

Graduate students have access to personal computers in the college's three microcomputer labs. An extensive library of software for business applications and several research centers are also available. The UHM library offers a wealth of information to the students. The Asian Collection in Hamilton Library has a heavy concentration of statistical materials related to South and Southeast Asia. Business information on other Asian countries is also available in the collection. More than 175 databases can be searched for references.
