The PhD in Industrial Relations and Human Resources Program is a research-oriented program of study, designed to provide students with a thorough knowledge of the field and strong research skills. Offered only on a full-time basis, students normally fulfill a two-year residency requirement that enables their full participation in the activities associated with the program.
