This interdivisional concentration prepares students for careers in human resource management and consulting. Its curriculum is designed to teach students how to design and implement human resource systems; to provide them with analytical frameworks that will enable them to evaluate human resource policy decisions; and to develop their skills as motivators, negotiators and leaders. The faculty, drawn from several divisions of the School, engages in research on human resource decisions, practices and problems and meets regularly with human resource executives. After completing the Core, students should choose four courses within the concentration. Students are encouraged to consider taking related courses in other divisions of the School and elsewhere in the University (such as in the Department of Sociology and the Teachers College). Those wishing to substitute outside the division should seek the advice or permission of the program coordinator.
