“Getting the MS HRER degree from Penn State was truly an enriching experience. The esteemed faculty and staff of the program showed genuine curiosity in both my academic and professional goals, providing guidance and support where needed. The dynamic learning environment and engaging interactions with my cohort  enabled me to gain varied perspectives on the topics covered in class. In addition, my learning was extended beyond the classroom with opportunities to participate in case competitions, visit companies and engage with industry professionals. I am currently an HR Manager at Microsoft overseeing the Employee Relations service model globally. My MS HRER degree gave me an understanding of the cultural, contextual and  organizational factors that contribute to the success of an organization. As a result, I am able to scale the Employee Relations model globally by considering HR capability, Manager Capability and optimal Employee Experience. I truly am grateful for my time here; the knowledge I gained and the life long friends I have made. We Are... Penn State!”

I first chose this program solely on the fact I could get my master's in a shorter period of time which meant saving on tuition and allowing me to get out in the workplace a year sooner.  After being at Penn State, I realized there are so many more reasons why one should choose this program: the opportunities within this program are endless and easily accessible!

This program has not only taught me about Labor and Employment Relations, but it has also taught me how to network, the proper etiquette in the workplace and during interviews, and most importantly self-confidence. The connections this program allows students to make is remarkable and has exceeded far beyond any of my expectations. The program is made up of a group of students who are not here just to get a Penn State degree, but are dedicated and truly excited to succeed in this field.  

The HRER master’s program at Penn State is above and beyond any other. I feel the program has not only allowed me to join a Penn State Family, but also a member of the PSU HRER family. Every one you encounter during this program from advisors, professors, classmates and mentors go above and beyond to help you grow as a young professional. Once a part of this family, you want to help each other become as successful as possible.

I choose the program because I felt that it was a great opportunity to receive a quality education. Penn State is full of resources and opportunities and the faculty and staff are very hands on with the students and support us in our academic career.

This program has opened my eyes to various facets of Human Resources and Employment Relations that I was not exposed to during undergrad. Additionally, this program has pushed me academically and has challenged my thought processes and be more curious on the subject matter. 

The faculty and staff are very hands on and willing to help which is what I believe makes this program exceptional. All the support and guidance I have received from them has positively impacted my experience and performance in this program
