    Hey everyone.

    I'm looking for some information regarding doctoral degree(s) in Human Resources.

    Of course, the degree(s) should be RA, preferably from a non-profit, and through a distance learning format. Some hybrid or multiple on-campus meetings are okay, as long as the distance is within about 3-4 hours from Houston, Texas, and not more than a few times a month. Once or twice a year meetings on-campus are fine, even if out of state, as long as they are not more than once or twice a year. Suggestions don't have to be Ph.D., specifically -- they can be DBA, DM, Ed.D., whatever.

    Now, here's where we run into some issues -- there's a very, very big difference between Human Resource Management, and Human Resource Development. It seems that there are more Development degrees than the former. PREFERENCE would lead to an HRM option over HRD, but any, and all suggestions are 1000% welcome! Other options like Org Dev, etc., are okay, too, as long as there's a concentration in HR or something similar.

    I am familiar with Bellevue's HCM Ph.D., and UT Tyler's Ph.D. in HRD. There are also some on-campus options around here to be found at University of Houston, Rice, etc. Distance is preferred, though, as it just makes life easier.

    Any thoughts, or suggestions? This seems to be one of those fields that's harder to find an RA, non-profit doctorate in -- that's also in distance mode. I hope I'm wrong, and that you guys have a ton of them that I haven't been able to find.

    Thanks a million!

    Look at the SHRM website. Last time I was there several years ago, they had a listing of HR degree programs, including DL.

    This is a great suggestion, but SHRM only lists bachelor's and master's degree programs on their website, unfortunately.
