Summer 2023
“In January 2022, I decided to take a leap and transition from nursing to UT Tyler’s HRD MS program. I chose the program because of my history with the UT System and this program’s curriculum and online format. I firmly believe that the knowledge gained during my time in this program will allow me to excel in my professional career.”
Combine study and related professional experiences to develop, apply, synthesize and evaluate HRD knowledge and address performance needs, issues, and problems of both for-profit and not-for-profit organizations. Our HRD graduates find managerial positions with many of today’s top employers in fields such as business, nonprofit, educational, military and the government or go on to enter the HRD PhD program.

“Through UT Tyler’s HRD MS program, I connected with faculty who supported and encouraged me. That experience led me to apply for the HRD PhD program and its unique cohort concept. In the cohort concept, you are part of a small group of students that work as a team. This allows you to create a bond with other students and commit to each other's success.”
Developed by the Association of Talent Development, this curriculum model ensures that students have skills and expertise in the development and delivery of training, leadership development, coaching, organization development and the evaluation of HRD programs. Students can earn certificates in special areas such as organization development and leadership & talent development and workplace learning.
