Our Master's in Human Resources Management degree at Saint Mary's University is a great opportunity for human resources professionals to get the extra specialized skills that they need to be successful in today's workforce.

They have made the online course very easy for somebody who has a very busy lifestyle.

Our students are professionals. They have busy, hectic schedules with families, with travel, especially work travel. And the online environment is flexible and meets their needs.

I chose Saint Mary's because they align their curriculum with the Society of Human Resources Management.

We've got classes in compensation and benefits and labor relations, employment law, management principles, ethics, and all of those targeted areas that an HR professional needs to know about really to rise to that next level of knowledge and that next level of professional capability in the organization.

You get more into performance management. It's not just hiring people, firing people, sticking to the law.

We try very hard to make sure that our mobile learning experience applies to the HR professional.

The technology is very easy to use.

By the use of FaceTime through their iPads, the students get to work collaboratively, provide feedback to each other, and really support each other in a personable way.

I was definitely surprised at how close I felt with my fellow students.

The online environment is 24/7. Even our support desk is 24/7.

The faculty was one of the things that I liked most about Saint Mary's. They're very warm. They're very engaging.

Our program really teaches students to be able to problem solve and to research and then take that academic research and apply it back to the problems that they're facing at work.
