What is the difference between Human Resource Development and Human Resources?
Human Resource Development is part of the general field of Human Resources; the general field of Human Resources encompasses areas such as labor relations, employee assistance, compensation, benefits, and staffing. The Executive HRD program at Xavier does not cover these areas; it covers the specific areas of training and development, career development, and organization development. Although the MBA program at Xavier does not have a concentration in HR, you may wish to contact them about their generalist business program, http://www.xavier.edu/williams/mba .
