georgetown & NYU hr

CHERRY_

最近一直在查HR的项目，然后发现GEORGETOWN和NYU的这两个项目比较奇特

一个是MPS（master of professional study）一个是CS(continue study)

然后来CD查了很多相关的帖子，还是很模糊，所以我就给georgetown发了邮件专门问了一下这个事情。

我的问题是：1.The name of this program includes"Professional Studies". Does this mean your program aims at working professionals? I am a senior student in college now.

2.What is the full name of the degree earned after finishing this program? Master of Human Resources Management or Master of Professional Studies in Human Resources Management?

其实就是想问清楚，这样的master和其他项目的MS MA MHRM等等到底什么区别

对方的回复是：

1. The program is structured for working professionals as all the classes are after 5 pm so students can work full time while earning their degree.

2. Upon completion of the program, you will receive a Master's of Professional Studies in Human Resources Management.

个人拙见：不知道这样的回复意思是不是就是本科毕业不适合直接报？其实在学校网站上并没有直接拒绝应届毕业生，但是在回复里这么一说，我大概就明白了。其实主要还是针对working professional开设的master课程，而且课程都是晚上来上，这并不代表项目不好，只是方便了在职学生。

如果有应届毕业生被录取，应该背景蛮强的吧？只是不知道将来的BOSS会不会对这个degree有异议呢？

欢迎大家讨论，希望这点小资料对和我有过同样疑惑的同学一些帮助~

就是相当于继续教育，虽然拿的依然是正式master degree，但个人不推荐。
NYU的就是SCPS吧，这种都是夜校啦5点后上课。不清楚以后hr会不会对你的文聘有质疑，但可以确定学习环境等方面肯定有些问题

恩恩，其实想想也是，还是不要冒这个风险。

我还是报那些HR的比较正规的研究生项目吧哈哈~~

Hi there, and thanks for your question! I’m very happy to help. There are many continuing education programs in the US. They target people who have already been working for some years but still want to further their study on part-time basis. The curriculums are tailored for people who already have work experience, and the schedulesare arranged for professionals (meaning most classes are at night). They will still consider fresh graduates from college, but to be honest, I don’t think these programs are suitable for people with no work experience, especially international students. You need more in-class time and support from a graduateprogramto help start your career. I’d strongly suggest you apply to full-time academic programs instead of these continuing education ones. Hope this helps!
