Will this masters degree help me

Will this masters degree help me?
I'm currently getting my Human Resource Management bachelors degree. I'm thinking about getting a master's degree. I wanted to get a human resources masters degree, but there aren't any available online. However, the MBA is offered. Would an MBA help me in work with human resources? Would I even be able to go get an MBA with my bachelors being HRM?

1) There are indeed MA/MS degrees offered online in Human Resources. Some from some very good colleges.(Central Michigan, Colorado State, Clemson, East Carolina, Western Carolina, Indiana State, Kansas State, Penn State, U Ct., U OK., UTexas, Boise State, Boston U, SUNY-Buffalo, Florida State, Middle Tennessee State, NC State, SUNY-Stony Brook, U Illinois, U Wisconsin, Webster U) Bellevue even has their PhD in Human Capital Management (HR) significantly online. HR is one of those subjects where graduate study and online study are ideally suited since at this level you will be conducting considerable research on your own time. 2) An MBA in HR will be just as useful, possibly more useful, as an MA/MS in HR unless you want to teach college later - in which case you'll want a PhD and the MA/MS is a better path to the PhD. Make sure you need another degree in HR at all. If you really like the field then it might be useful but the BA in HR and the MA/MS in HR both qualify an entry level generalist. You might be better served, since you will have the bachelor's in the field already, looking at a specialist master's degree in an HR subfield such as training, labor relations, I/O Psych - Org Behavior, etc. Getting the MBA would open your options beyond the HR function but it too is a generalist degree. The MBA only has true value (unless it's from a top school) when combined with relevant work experience leading to a senior management position. 3) Yes, you should be able to get into an MBA program from HR depending on your GPA and GMAT scores. The best programs will require that you have some work experience first. The MBA is designed for people that don't have an undergraduate degree in business but need the business administration education.
