Apply to HRM

Apply to UConn's Graduate Programs in HRM in 6 easy steps

The Graduate Programs in HR Management include the online or hybrid MSHRM degree, and the Graduate Certificate in HR Management. When we review applications, we consider each candidate’s entire portfolio of work.  Our primary determinant is how well the selected HRM program fits within an individual’s personal and professional goals, as well as each candidate’s ability to master the rigorous curriculum. For MSHRM candidates, we also consider how each candidate’s experience and skills will contribute to the program cohort.  A complete application for the MSHRM programs include:

1. Access your Admissions Portal
2. A brief personal statement stating why you are applying to the HRM program and how your graduate studies will support your personal and professional objectives
3. One professional or academic letter of reference
4. Professional resume/CV
5. Unofficial transcript(s) for all undergraduate and graduate coursework
6. An interview with program staff

*If accepted, we will require official college transcript(s) mailed directly by your institution(s) for all undergraduate and graduate coursework.  These can be mailed to: University of Connecticut School of Business, Attn: Graduate Transcripts, 2100 Hillside Road Unit 1041, Storrs, CT 06269-1041.  Official transcripts for coursework completed at the University of Connecticut are not required.

The MSHRM program admits for the fall semester only.  If you have any questions on how to complete your application online, please contact us at HRM@business.uconn.edu.

For International Students
The MSHRM program is an online, part-time program for which we are unable to issue F1 or J1 visas.
