"The Human Resources Management MBA at Pace University encompasses all the needed classes to begin a flourishing career within Human Resources. My MBA has enabled me to obtain a rotational assignment in Human Resources at a leading pharmaceutical company. During this rotation I will be able to experience many functions of Human Resources. Upon completion of this assignment, I will become a Human Resources Generalist. I strongly feel that without my MBA, I would never have been given this opportunity."
