The MOBHR field is broad and concerns all aspects of employment relationships. The field has a strong research emphasis and is designed to prepare highly motivated individuals for academic careers in organizational behaviour, human resource management, and industrial relations.
A major strength of this specialization is that students can draw on the diverse range of faculty interests at DeGroote to develop a research program that suits their own objectives.
Successful applicants typically have a master’s degree in one of these fields:
- Business administration
- Psychology
- Economics
- Sociology
- Industrial relations / Labour studies
