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.

  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
