Abstract
HRD graduate programs form an important component of the system of human resource education in the United
States. This study investigated the institutional and curricular characteristics of fiftyβfive leading
programs in this country, focusing on three areas: institutional arrangements, student enrollment, and core
curriculum content. Findings include a large degree of heterogeneity among program names, departmental
affiliations, and specializations. Compared to data from 1991, student enrollment has declined at the
master's level while partβtime course taking has increased. Analysis of the core curriculum at these
institutions showed a disparity between course offerings and much current writing in the field.
