Penn State is starting a new program that is an on-line program for a Masters in Employee Relations and HR. It is going to be starting in Spring of 2008.

Try a website called degreeinfo.com They have a ton of info on legitimately accredited online degree programs.

Colorado State has an online MBA program but I don't know if there's an HR concentration. Baker College (Flint MI) has an MBA with HR concentration, but it's accredited by the IACBS rather than the AACBS.

University of Phoenix is a brick and mortar institution.

It may be brick and mortar, but although Phoenix is accredited for undergraduate degrees and several graduate degrees, the MBA program isn't one of them.

I think the original poster's thoughts about a more traditional university for the MBA were on target.

I got one and it is doing no good. I lost my job over it and now I can not find a job. Education is number one on my list of things to do? Ecom 101 - displayed workers only need to re-education themselves to stay employed. Ya, Bla, bla, bla.

I find it hard to believe that you lost a job over a degree, unless you were claiming a degree from a unaccredited diploma mill.

Smithson43, if your attitude at work is anything like your attitude here, then that's probably why you lost your job - not over the quality of your degree.

Daily Q&A

How to Address Flagging Motivation?

How do I increase motivation levels in the department? How do I brand my business unit as an attractive place to work? I have top-notch IT professionals in my business unit who feel they are "children of a lesser God" because they are non-billable resources and do not get plum postings abroad, nor the glamour that goes with them. As a result, their motivation suffers.
