HRE Online is an innovative instructional program that uses the Internet and a variety of online technologies to provide quality learning in a collaborative environment. Through this program you can complete a Master's degree from home or work, thus saving the time and expense normally associated with traveling to and from class. Each course is designed to encourage extensive interaction between the instructor and students. Based on the results of several research studies we have conducted, the online program is very effective and receives high praise from our students.

HRE Online provides a variety of learning opportunities within several areas of study. Master's students can specialize in either Human Resource Development (HRD) or Community College Teaching and Learning (CCTL). The CCTL program also offers a certificate of professional development. The HRD graduate program is designed for individuals currently working in or aspiring to HRD positions in either the private or public sector. This program focuses on employee training and development, organization development, and the use of information and technology to improve individual and organizational performance. Emphasis is placed on HRD leadership in both domestic and international settings. The Community College Teaching and Learning program is designed to increase the teaching effectiveness of community college faculty and to build instructional leadership capabilities of supervisory personnel. The curriculum emphasizes the effective design of instruction, the application of technologies to instruction, and the use of innovations such as peer-based collaboration and active learning.

We find that both of these online programs prepare our graduates for leadership positions in business, the military, higher education, non-profit organizations, and government organizations. We encourage you to explore our website and decide if HRE Online is right for you.
