Hi there,

If you're trying to make the switch from IT to HR, you're going to have a hard time finding a program that'll fit those requirements to a tee. Here's something to consider - on average, less than 5% of the jobs at the top MBA programs go to HR. So, programs generally aren't rated on their HR capabilities. Additionally, finding qualitative consistent measures to assess them on it also difficult.

In other words, there's no ranking system out there for HR schools. BUT...

There are others who take it upon themselves to assess what's out there. Here's a pretty good article: https://hrpatriot.blocked/2009/11/b ... grams.html

HOWEVER - if you're coming from IT, look for programs that are going to give you a strong general management foundation. You need one and HR is a specialization, not a core concept. A lot of time people who go for their MBAs looking to specialize in HR were already in that industry. You are making a lot of moves here so your school selection should be more broad based and strategic than simply based upon an area you're interested in.

Does that make sense?

Look into Johnson at Cornell University and not just because I went there.... There are a lot of people who do the dual degree with Johnson and the Industrial Labor Relations (ILR) school. So they end up getting a Masters in Industrial Labor Relations and and MBA. Even if you didn't want to do the dual degree program you would be able to take classes at the other school. Definitely look into that....
My goal is to make MBA applicants take onus over their process.

There is no harm in Doing Mba in human resources, because that might be of your interest. Always opt for whatever interests you more so that you get more knowledge in deep. Apart from this, you could also look at other specializations such as MBA in construction management ,MBA in project management, Mba in real estate , mba in journalism, mba in advertising.
