CHANGE MANAGEMENT
Change is a necessary and constant part of any organization. The change may be expected, or it may be in reaction to unanticipated external and/or internal factors. In fact, organizations that do not change do not last.
Change initiatives can be exceedingly complex and disorienting, however. The success of a given changeinitiative often rests on the clarity of vision of an organization’s leaders; an accurate and sensitiveunderstanding of the organization’s culture; the involvement, input and buy-in of multiple internal andexternal stakeholders to the change objectives and process; leaders’ ability to leverage technology tocommunicate and drive change; and an organization’s analytical capabilities to document and measureprogress, and continue to iterate and improve.
In light of these requirements, this course seeks to ask: What is the role of the HCM leader in facilitatingchange within an organization? The aims of this course are not abstract. This course will help studentsdevelop skills to support actual organizations (their own and/or others) through change. Lectures, readings,videos, in-class and asynchronous discussions, and assignments will all focus on the practical application ofchange theory and empirical research to real-world organizational contexts.
This course is an advanced elective within the Master of Science in Human Capital Management program.Prerequisites include “HCMPS5100: Introduction to Human Capital Management,” and “HCMPS5150:Integrated Talent Management Strategies.” Some familiarity with people analytics and digital approaches toHuman Capital Management will also be helpful.

Internship in HCM
Internship with Industry (1.5 credits, asynchronous online, elective) supports graduate students as they complete a supervised internship aligned with their academic program and career goals. Through targeted readings, short video lectures, structured reflection, and peer interaction, students connect internship experiences to career frameworks and workplace competencies. Course modules emphasize goal setting (SMART goals), self-awareness and communication (DiSC), career design and prototyping (Designing Your Life; Life Grid and Energy Mapping), persistence and performance (GRIT), and navigating change (VUCA, including reflection on emerging technologies such as AI). Students produce artifacts that document progress, analyze workplace context, and translate learning into career direction through a final synthesis reflection.
The course requires a minimum of 105 internship hours and completion of a supervisor evaluation through the Experiential Learning Module.
