Human and Organizational Performance Specialization

The Human and Organizational Performance (HOP) Specialization is a more structured, intense and focused version of the HOP Concentration. The purpose of the career track is to provide a foundation of knowledge and practice for MBA students targeting careers in Human Capital Consulting or Corporate Human Resource Management.

For students working in HOP, they need, first, to be broadly educated in business disciplines such as strategy, finance, economics, marketing, operations and accounting. This foundation will differentiate our students from Masters’ of Human Resource Management graduates who do not have a strong foundation in business. On top of this foundation, the HOP career specialization consists of a rigorous course sequence.
