Although a nice campus and quiet atmosphere, McDaniel's HRD graduate program lacks substance and is still very much in development stages, even as it enters its second decade. It revolves around the already practicing HR professional and leaves very little room for exploration of the development and management aspects of HRD. In the end, its an expensive and cumbersome experience.
