MAHR
Why study Human Resources?
In an increasingly competitive global marketplace, leaders know that people are an organization's most critical resource. Bottom-line business success depends on the quality of its employees and the effectiveness of employee relations. The Lindner Master of Arts in Human Resources (MAHR) program prepares students for leadership roles in managing people and building employee capabilities.
MAHR graduates serve in a variety of organizations such as General Electric, Macy's, Cincinnati Children's Hospital, UC Health, and many smaller firms.
