Rutgers has a good program, and they claim to have the most cited faculty in the industry, but this seems like it may be an inaccurate claim. The top schools if you want to do a masters in HR are as follows, 1. Cornell's Masters of Industrial and Labor Relations, 2. University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign, 3. Michigan State and 4. University of Minnesota. I'm sure that each school would probably argue that it is actually the best, but Cornell wins because it has the Ivy League reputation and interactions top executives from Fortune 500 companies that the others just don't quite have. I am currently a masters student at Cornell so I may be a little biased, but it's true.
