Beginning January 2010, the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business, in partnership with Regional Campuses and Distance Education, will be offering a part-time Master of Science in Human Resources (MSHR) Executive Weekend program in Salt Lake City that will be broadcast to campuses and centers located throughout Utah.

The courses in the program will provide the same learning experience currently offered in the main campus program and allows Utah State University to meet the needs of many working professionals who could not otherwise complete our full-time MSHR in the on-campus program. Courses will be offered Friday nights from 6:00 to 10:00 pm and Saturday mornings from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm.

Interested applicants should complete the online application for the USU School of Graduate Studies and complete the other application requirements by October 15th.

Why choose a master’s degree in human resource management?
A master's degree in HR is designed to prepare you for one of the most exciting careers in the 21st century. In forward–thinking organizations that employ strategic management, HR is a full–fledged business partner. Human resource managers are responsible for the design and implementation of recruitment, selection, compensation, training, career and performance management systems that bring out the best in an organization’s most important assets: its people. According to the Bureau of Labor statistics, positions in HR are expected to grow at a rate faster than average job growth during the next 20 years.

USU’s MSHR program is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business- International (AACSB-International). AACSB accreditation is achieved by only the most prestigious business schools in the world.
