These practice areas are at the core of The George Washington University Human Resource Development Master's program. Our curriculum is designed to equip both managers and human resource professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to diagnose and develop individuals, teams, and organizations. More importantly, our students enhance their ability to design change efforts that truly support their organization's strategic direction. The Master's Cohort Program is designed for individuals who wish to become leading practitioners within their organizations.
Most students are mid-career professionals who have years of work experience.
Students enter and go through the program as part of a cohort group, which permits sharing of experiences and provides social and emotional support for the duration of the program. Classes meet all day twice a month on alternating Saturdays. Students take two courses each semester, including summer, and complete the degree program in two years. Course assignments provide a blend of theory and practice, and are designed to provide tangible benefits to students and their organizations. The Master's Cohort Program offers a unique way for students to earn an exceptional Master's Degree while working full time.
