Master of Human Resources, Leadership, and Religious Studies
The Master of Human Resources, Leadership, and Religious Studies (M.H.R.L.R.S.) program prepares future organizational leaders, human resource professionals, and values-driven administrators to lead people, manage workplace systems, and support faith-based or mission-focused institutions with professional competence, ethical judgment, and compassionate leadership.
This interdisciplinary graduate program brings together advanced study in human resource management, organizational leadership, employment law, employee relations, talent development, workplace culture, and religious ethics. Students explore how effective leadership and HR practices can be guided by moral responsibility, spiritual values, interfaith understanding, and respect for human dignity in diverse and multicultural workplaces.
Through the program, students develop the skills needed to lead workforce planning, manage change, support employee engagement, resolve workplace challenges, and strengthen organizational well-being. They also examine how religious and ethical traditions can inform leadership decisions, governance, diversity management, conflict resolution, and service-oriented organizational practice.
Students may choose a faith focus area to connect their studies with their own religious tradition. This allows them to apply faith-informed perspectives to human resource leadership, workplace ethics, organizational justice, employee care, and responsible decision-making in both faith-based and secular professional environments.
