Frequently Asked Questions
What is Human Capital Management?
Human Capital Management (HCM) refers to initiatives, strategies, and activities designed to optimize the capabilities and overall potential of a workforce. The program aims to support the alignment between an organization's strategic aspirations and its ability to meet those strategic objectives.
What is human capital analytics and technology?
Human capital analytics and technology is the use of talent data, tools, techniques, and new technologies to improve talent and business outcomes. It helps organizations optimize the employee experience, improve productivity, and develop actionable talent acquisition and retention strategies.
Why is a dual degree in HCM and HCAT important?
The dual degree aligns HR practices with business goals and data-driven decision-making. It ensures effective talent acquisition, hiring process, employee development, and performance management. Human capital analytics professionals are critical to helping organizations use the increasing amounts of data available to make data-informed talent and business decisions. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a faster-than-average growth rate of 8% through 2031 for HR specialist occupations such as human capital analytics.
How long does it take to earn a dual master's degree at NYU SPS?
The dual MS in HCM and MS in HCAT program takes two years of full-time study or up to five years of part-time study to complete. With a program designed to accommodate working professionals, after completing the program requirements, electives, and their capstones or theses, students earn two master of science degrees alongside the advanced training and business acumen that come with it.
What does SHRM-aligned curriculum mean for me?
The courses that make up the MS program incorporate the elements of the Society of Human Resource Management competency model. This alignment ensures students will be exposed to key skills necessary for future success in the field of HRM practice.
What's the importance of getting a STEM-designated degree?
The number of occupations that require a combination of critical thinking, technical competence and digital skills continue to grow. The US Department of Labor projects that STEM occupations will grow by almost 11% through 2031, more than twice as fast as the growth for other occupations. The NYU SPS MS in Human Capital Analytics and Technology degree has been designated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security as a STEM program. This is particularly important for international students with an F-1 visa who are interested in gaining work experience in the U.S. after their degree completion. Earning a degree from a STEM designated program allows international students to extend their Optional Practical Training (OPT) for an additional year (up to two years total).
If I have an F-1 Visa, when can I apply for a STEM-extension for the dual degree?
Upon successful completion of the MS in Human Capital Management degree, students can apply for STEM extension when they advance into the MS in Human Capital Analytics and Technology program.
What types of jobs are available after earning the dual degree?
Graduates of the dual-degree master’s program go on to a variety of roles within highly competitive corporations, consulting firms, educational institutions and nonprofits. Many graduates take on roles within human capital analytics teams while others have roles in talent management, compensation and benefits, HR operations, talent development, talent acquisition, workforce planning and as HR business partners. In short, having a dual degree allows our graduates to use their analytics skills across all areas of HR.
