Villanova’s graduate programs in human resources foster the development of
knowledge and skills that have a direct application in the rapidly changing
world that encompasses law, regulations, human behavior, knowledge management
and measurement. The courses provide a practical environment to provide students
opportunities to perform many of the activities that practitioners encounter on
a regular basis. Most courses are taught by leading consultants and real-world
professionals, assuring that students are up to date on current technologies and
trends.
Ideas for continuous improvement of our program come from area HR leaders and
program graduates who serve on our advisory board. In this dynamic field, we
focus on integrating the latest innovations with established processes to create
the best practices for professional excellence. We have a close relationship
with national organizations in the field, including the Society for Human
Resource Management (SHRM) and the Human Resource Planning Society (HRPS).
 “Villanova's graduate program in
Human Resource Development was, without question, one of the most important and
pivotal career decisions I’ve made. Everyone knows that competition for great HR
jobs in great companies is tough. By providing me with a practical, business-
rounded education, Villanova positioned me to consistently succeed in my career.
But success comes easy when you are surrounded by faculty that provides
challenging work and the kind of one-on-one guidance and support that is
second-to-none. After over 20 years in the field of HR, I still reflect back on
the lessons learned from Villanova’s graduate program in Human Resource
Development. It is clearly a return on investment—in yourself—that continues to
pay dividends over the years!”
