In a fast-paced knowledge economy, an organization's human capital has become the key competitive advantage for strategic growth. Learning how to best leverage that advantage defines the mandate of SMA's MBA in Human Resources Management. SMA's MBA in Human Resources provides students with fundamental managerial and leadership skills that will enable them to understand strategic and operational issues in managing human capital in organizations. The MBA/HRM program is designed to meet the needs of a broad but unique population - the working adult manager or supervisor who could benefit from a graduate business education. Because the tools of the human resources management science are applicable to the problems of the public sector as well as the private sector, students whose career interests involve not-for-profit enterprise are also encouraged to seek admission. The program is designed for the working adult with evening classes.
