Online Master Degree Programs in Human Resources


Human resources employees are integral to the smooth operation of most private businesses and public institutions. They interview job candidates, define and explain employee benefit packages, help recruit employees, and design job training programs, among other duties. They need strong interpersonal skills and are increasingly being asked to deal with employees who come from varied cultural and education backgrounds. They also play large roles in maintaining high productivity and morale among rank-and-file employees.

Most colleges offer bachelor's degree programs in human resources or related fields such as labor relations but few offer accredited master's programs, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Other degrees in human resources may be a master's of business administration with a specialization in human resource management.

The median annual income for compensation and benefits managers was $88,050 in 2009, while training and development managers earned a median wage of $88,090.
