Leadership opps?

The evolution of HR analytics is happening. Personally, I’m seeing increased data decision making and a shift towards predictive analytics. I think there’s a future in this field and MSc can help with management roles and/or other advancements.

Hello everyone! What kind of schools are you all working in?

I would appreciate your perspective.
I am currently working on my MBA in a professional evening and weekend program at a highly accredited university. I am thinking about transferring to a much smaller private online program, specifically because they offer a concentration in organizational health, which directly builds on my doctoral research. Does great depth and specialization outweigh the value of a highly respected generalist degree?
