*This is only an estimate, using general program
pricing. Your price may be higher or lower depending on
your specialization, transfer credits, tuition discounts, and (in
FlexPath) the speed at which you move through the program. Fees,
including application fees and resource kits, are not included in
this estimate. The GuidedPath prices show the tuition you would pay
if you brought in the average number of transfer credits or the
maximum allowed transfer credits. The FlexPath prices show the
tuition you would pay if you brought in an average number of
transfer credits and you moved at the speed of a typical FlexPath
student or as quickly as the fastest FlexPath students (90th
percentile). New or recently revised programs base their estimate on
comparable programs. Military Tuition Assistance (TA) is not
available for FlexPath.

Earning your MBA can help prepare you to lead in a dynamic field as you explore these and other critical areas of focus.
Here are three questions to help determine your path for choosing an advanced degree in human resource management.
Which certifications are right for you and your next HR career move?
Competency-based education is valuable for human resource professionals, as students and in the hiring process.
Here are just some of the career options you could explore with our
online MBA in Human Resource Management.
*These are examples intended to serve as a general guide. Some
positions may prefer or even require previous experience, licensure,
certifications, and/or other designations along with a degree. Because
many factors determine what position an individual may attain, Capella
cannot guarantee that a graduate will secure any specific job title, a
promotion, salary increase, or other career outcome. We encourage you
to research requirements for your job target and career goals.
While the human resources field offers a variety of career paths and focus areas, some of the more common paths include:
Put yourself in a position to lead at a high level and make valuable contributions that help shape organizational success for local, state, or federal agencies.
Job titles to explore may include working as a human resources
manager, director of human resources, or vice president of human
resources for a variety of local or federal government agencies.
Make informed, practitioner-based decisions resulting in increased professional development, organizational growth, and enterprise sustainability.
Job titles to explore may include working as a human resources manager or human resources business partner for manufacturing organizations, hospitals, or government agencies.
Prescreen applications to generate a smaller group of qualified candidates and oversee the hiring process including interview questions, candidate ratings, and background checks.
Job titles to explore may include working as a talent acquisition manager for a firm or independently for large or small companies, government or nongovernment organizations, health care organizations, or local, national, or global entities.
Multiple factors, including prior experience, geography, and degree field, affect career outcomes, and Capella does not guarantee a job, promotion, salary increase, or other career growth.
