Pacific Univesity - Master of Arts in Human Resource Management
(人材管理学）
Students in the Hawai'i Pacific University
Master of Arts in Human Resource Management (MA/HRM) degree
program learn in a dynamic and interactive classroom environment
from experienced faculty who use case studies, multimedia
technology, experiential exercises, small group activities,
and field projects. Faculty are veteran business professionals
who enrich the classroom experience by integrating real-world
experiences with theory. The HPU MA/HRM degree program is
designed for students who wish to specialize in the field
of human resource management and its applications to other
areas of organizational activity. The MA/HRM emphasizes the
study and practices of human relations and management of people.
Decisions about managing people make a difference. As a manager,
you will face intense pressures to achieve success through
the people you lead. Your decision will affect not only your
own success, but also your employees' behaviors and sense
of fair treatment as well.
Faced with the pressures of global competition, social change,
and accelerating technological advances, managers are urged
to take action. Solutions are not always simple, nor are they
unchanging. What works in one set of circumstances may not
apply in another setting or with other employees. Thus the
search for "the answer" lies in an analysis of the
conditions and people involved.
The MA/HRM degree program at Hawai'i Pacific University will
help you understand what to consider in such an analysis so
that you can make effective decisions. The potential returns
from decisions about employees can match or surpass the returns
from decisions on other organization resources.
