Palmer: There's two HR focus graduate programs. They share some of the same classes but with each degree, you are focusing on becoming an expert in Human Resource Management.

[Footage of various classrooms with students talking.]

Palmer: So with the HRMG program, you take classes including a basic finance for managers class, an employment law class, compensation and benefits, and then, of course, a capstone course, which synthesizes all of those courses and helps the person understand what their role would be working in a company working in HR.

Our graduate program really gets people to think more critically about how to be a person change agent in an organization which is, in essence, an HR manager.

[Footage of classroom settings with students talking and collaborating.]

Development means training. We're really trying to train you to be able to train other people. Group and organizational development, sharpening people's skills to become influencers in an organization. We're trying to teach students to be able to share their ideas with large groups maybe in an organization.

[Gitonga speaks toward camera.]

Gitonga: I teach primarily three classes in the Human Resource Development program, namely Introduction to human resource development, training and development and then the capstone project.

[Gitonga and Palmer address audience.]

Gitonga: We also have a very diverse pool of instructors, some of whom are full-time academics and others who are professionals in industry.

[Footage shows a variety of classrooms and professors. Palmer speaks to audience.]

Palmer: Which we feel like gives our students an edge. Because we want our students to get the experience of somebody who has actually been working in that area. We look for practitioners who have experience in compensation and benefits. Lawyers teach the employment law class. Who better to take an employment law class than from somebody who is actually practicing law.

[Footage of more classrooms with lots of students and professors talking, learning and collaborating.]

Text on screen: An innovative approach to Management, Training and Development

Palmer: Students that have a passion for wanting to learn how to be a better change agent, be a better employee relations specialist, are those students that end up in our program. Whether you're working on the training aspect, whether you're working on the benefits aspect, whether you're working on the communication with employee鈥檚 aspect 鈥� we're really trying to help students hone those skills.
