Students may select a career track in either Labor Relations or Personnel or may select a program combining electives from both tracks depending upon their career interests.
The MPS requires 36 graduate-level credits that include 30 credit hours of course work and 6 credit hours of a Capstone project towards the end of the program. The MPS also includes an issues-based course as a two-week on-site residency requirement.
