I’m currently attending classes for ADP Human Resources at Concordia University in Austin (http://discover.concordia.edu). I’ve found my classes thus far to be really helpful, and the staff great – and always available to answer any questions I have. I’d highly recommend them (and the degree program) to anyone!
I completed a MPA (Masters of Public Administration) with concentrations in non-profit management and human resources. Between that and a nine month HR internship, I was able to secure employment in the HR field and have been with the company for 2 1/2 years. Without the degree, I did not have enough experience to get that initial job. A masters degree would certainly make you more marketable, especially when it came to upper management.
I am also pursuing a Masters Program and feel that it would definitely increase your earning potential. The Certifications will definitely help as a short term addition to your resume. However, the Masters will allow you to move into higher level positions. It may all depend on your career goals. If you have many years of experience in HR including management experience you may be able to move into a higher level position sooner. Many positions will subsitute the Masters degree for a certain number of years of experience. This is not the case for the certification programs (SHRM and etc). Some companies also require a Masters for HR Management positions. Your decision will all depend on your long term goals.
