Key Summary
About: The Master of Human Resource Management (MHRM) is an online distance-learning degree from Atlantic International University. It teaches HR theory and applied management. After reviewing academic records and life experience, advisors help each student design a custom curriculum. Courses and materials vary by individual, addressing strengths, weaknesses, market opportunities, industry and geographic factors to support working professionals in HR and talent management.
Career Outcomes: Graduates may work as HR manager, talent specialist, training manager, compensation analyst or organizational consultant. Roles cover workforce planning, recruitment, performance management and HR policy. Employers include corporations, government, nonprofits, startups and global consulting firms.
The Master of Human Resource Management (MHRM) program objective is to provide students with distinct professional human resource knowledge and practical applications in human resource management to ensure that an organization's most important asset is available, capable, and effective in an ever-changing business environment. The Master of Human Resource Management (MHRM) program is offered online via distance learning. After evaluating both academic record and life experience, AIU staff working in conjunction with Faculty and Academic Advisors will assist students in setting up a custom-made program, designed on an individual basis. This flexibility to meet student needs is seldom found in other distance learning programs. Our online program does not require all students to take the same subjects/courses, use the same books, or learning materials. Instead, the online Master of Human Resource Management (MHRM) curriculum is designed individually by the student and academic advisor.
It specifically addresses strengths and weaknesses with respect to market opportunities in the student’s major and intended field of work. Understanding that industry and geographic factors should influence the content of the curriculum instead of a standardized one-fits-all design is the hallmark of AIU’s unique approach to adult education. This philosophy addresses the dynamic and constantly changing environment of working professionals by helping adult students in reaching their professional and personal goals within the scope of the degree program.
