The program is very research oriented. It has a 8 week schedule instead of the 16 weeks like other universities. It allows students to pick the electives based on the certification they want so along with a Masters degree they get an additional certification when they graduate. They have a capstone requirement which has 4 options through which you graduate ( A free university sponsored exam, HR certification, thesis or internship report).

Course Curriculum

I think they are very discussion oriented. You learn because you do it! The style is focused not just on lectures but very participative discussions.

Exams

IELTS 7.5 & higher. Online application form Transcripts 3 recommendation letters Statement of goals Resume Academic writing sample: Only submit if waiving writing prerequisite course. See HRD website for details.

There are a lot of networking events but not so much for Human Resources. I think it’s not entirely the university’s fault, that has more to do with the United States work authorization laws.

Events

The graduate students had no option of staying on campus we had to rent a house close by which I think is not that great because we do not get to experience the actual campus life. That said a very beautiful campus that you would love to see every single day. It is huge so many trees flowers filled with nature, it’s just very beautiful to look at.

Scholarship

No

Faculty

9

All the professors were very friendly and informative. Each one of them was passionate about the subject they were teaching. There has never been a time I could not reach a professor if I had additional questions or concerns regarding an assignment.

Hostel

5

The only thing I did not like was the accommodation. They are trying to allow graduate students at least international graduate students on campus housing but when I was studying that we had to rent a place close by.
