Concentrations may be developed and offered as cohort groups are recruited/formed to satisfy a specific need within a market. Courses selected for a concentration may be developed specifically for that concentration or may be selected from other graduate curricula offered through the CMB. The need to develop a concentration may be determined by an analysis of the local market and/or through corporate or organizational contacts. For examples, a concentration specifically developed for the health care industry in a local area, for a state or federal government agency, or for a local professional organizational such as ASTD or SHRM. An Internship (MGT590) may be included as a course in a concentration.
Program Standard
The MS-HRM&D program does not normally offer/approve internships However, internships may be approved by the Academic Program Manager and Assistant Dean on a case-by-case basis. A student’s Internship Proposal must identify the sponsoring organization and an on-site mentor, include a detailed summary of what the internship will entail, an outline of the terms of the internship, and an explanation of the relevance of the internship to the MS-HRM&D program. The program director will ensure that the proposed internship meets the requirements/objectives as indicated in the University Course Outline for MGT590 and meets the criteria for course substitution. Only one internship (three semester hours) may be credited toward degree requirements.
