Master of Human Relations

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

36 Hours Non-Thesis

The Master of Human Relations (MHR) degree curriculum blends theory, research and practice with a focus on preparing service providers to aid individuals who need support and coping skills restoration, to understand people who have been alienated or disenfranchised from society and to more effectively reach and communicate with all people.

The Department of Human Relations provides the educational knowledge needed to prepare people for and to assist them in positions requiring skills in human resource development, an understanding of minority groups and affirmative action programs, methods for developing individualized coping skills and creative problem solving skills, crisis intervention strategies, drug and chemical abuse training, restoration of family support systems to combat abuse, rehabilitation of incarcerated offenders and group leadership development.

The optional emphasis in human resource development (available at some locations) allows students to select from adult and higher education and/or communication courses to develop communication, education training and organizational leadership skills.

Eligibility

The Department of Human Relations offers an undergraduate degree but admission to the master's program is not limited to students who have successfully completed an undergraduate human relations degree program. Undergraduate degrees from a variety of social, behavioral, natural or physical sciences academic disciplines are acceptable because the study of human relations is interdisciplinary. Therefore most undergraduate degrees are acceptable and there are no coursework prerequisite requirements for admission to the program.
