“The Claremont Core really sealed the deal for me when I was looking for a program. I have a Master’s in Organizational Leadership and I just felt I needed another bolster to my resume with Human Resources Management, and I found the program and I was initially attracted to the cost — and from what I read in the reviews and curriculum, it seemed like a very high quality program, and in fact, I was right.”
