The W. T. Beebe Institute of Personnel and Employment Relations, formerly known as the Institute of Industrial Relations, was established in 1987 at the Robinson College of Business. The Institute is dedicated to promoting research, scholarship, education, and service to the Human Resources Management (HRM) profession. Senior associates of the Beebe Institute serve as instructors of HRM courses in the Robinson College of Business and work closely with the HRM business community to bridge the worlds of academics and practice.

Highlights of the Beebe Institute include leading edge, innovative research with practical impact; a multidisciplinary institute that combines the insights and perspectives of several fields, such as management, economics, psychology and law; and close faculty/student/practitioner interaction.

Undergraduate and graduate degrees with focus or specialization in HRM can be obtained through the closely-affiliated Department of Managerial Sciences, also located in the Robinson College of Business. Learn more about these programs...
