Career Placement
Thanks again for your continued partnership. We have been very impressed by our MSU interns this summer and look forward to continuing to attract top talent from MSU.
The Career Development and Placement Office is led by Director Megan Jursch and is dedicated to providing the support and services that help connect you with top recruiting companies for your internship and full-time career.
MSU's Master of Human Resources and Labor Relations program's career placement and development is one of the top reasons we are known as one of the best programs in the nation for HR and labor relations.
The HRLR Difference:
We offer customized support and extensive one-on-one services to ensure each of our Master’s students is prepared and confident when 20-25 companies come to meet, interview, and recruit them for summer internships and full-time careers. Every student receives a personal peer career coach and student mentor to ensure their resume is perfect and they are ready to put their best foot forward when interviewing.
HRLR consistently places our Masters students into highly competitive internship and full-time careers. Because of the reputation of MSU's program, between 20–25 companies come to campus ever year specifically to recruit our students. Summer internships average $36/hour and the current average salary for our Master's grads is $86,000.
We help connect students with our extensive alumni network, an SHRLR lifelong networked community, to ensure they have every advantage in their internship and early career. MHRLR students have access to HRLR alumni who are currently leaders in the field of Human Resources and Labor Relations.
