The Graduate Programs in Human Resource Development at Villanova University, VillanovaHRD, is committed to our vision of developing global thought-leaders through evidence-based HR practices who drive high performing, inclusive organizations and create meaningful work experiences. It is our mission to develop HR leaders through evidence-based education and applied experiences in functional and strategic human resource management, within dynamic organizational environments. We believe strongly that the people in every organization are the greatest asset of that business and to achieve success, the business must not only leverage but support, motivate, and develop those people. We educate our students on the research that supports these beliefs and provide opportunities for experiences to explore the application of these beliefs and the foundations of strategic human resources in our classrooms.
