\"FIU<\/p>\n

The College of Business\u2019 masters and bachelors human resource programs were ranked#2 in the U.S. by Leadership Excellence<\/em>, a publication of\u00a0HR.com, at the annual 2017 LEAD Awards.<\/p>\n

This marks the second consecutive year at #2 for the Master of Science in Human Resource Management (MSHRM)<\/a> and the first time for its undergraduate counterpart, Bachelor of Business Administration in Human Resource Management<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur program is well established and nearly 600 people have completed it in the last 15 years,\u201d said Weinstein. \u201cOur alumni are highly engaged and supportive of the program. This strong network extends beyond Miami and facilitates successful placement of our grades.\u201d<\/p>\n

Interest in specialized masters programs has increased as the U.S. economy bounced back, increasing competition for spots in FIU\u2019s Master of Science in Human Resource Management program, which was launched in 2002.<\/p>\n

\u201cA number of factors may distinguish our program. First, we staff classes with faculty who teach in their areas of expertise,\u201d said Marc Weinstein, director of the 12-month Master of Science in Human Resource Management program and clinical professor, Department of Management & International Business.<\/p>\n

The HR.com awards are especially significant for the College of Business\u2019 undergraduate program because it will draw new students into human resource management professions, Weinstein explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen selecting a major, they will gravitate toward programs with a greater reputation,\u201d he added. \u201cMany undergraduate students are already employed in support functions at human resource companies.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 2017 rankings were announced at the LEAD conference held February 8, 2017 in Nashville. HR.com is the largest social networking site dedicated to human resources professionals, with an online community of over 240,000 HR executives.<\/p>\n

The Center for Leadership at FIU<\/a>, led by College of Business associate professor and Knight Ridder Research Fellow Nathan Hiller, also received two prestigious distinctions at this year\u2019s LEAD awards. The Center was ranked #2 in the Open Enrollment Programs category and #1 for its Miami-Dade County Public Schools Leadership Development Program.<\/p>\n

This is the fourth consecutive year that\u00a0the Center for Leadership has been ranked among the top providers of executive leadership development programs in the U.S. at the LEAD Awards.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think [the ranking] is indicative that we\u2019re not a one-hit wonder,\u201d said Hiller. \u201cIt shows the sustainability and longevity of our program.\u201d<\/p>\n

A lot of participants, Hiller noted, speak highly of the Center for Leadership\u2019s programs because they combine a strong research component with hands-on practice.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not just esoteric talk about leadership, he added. \u201cIt\u2019s looking at leaders who are being more successful and developing those skills. You learn the tweaks, even small ones, which leaders can make and that will help them incredibly.\u201d<\/p>\n
