UConn HRM students study alongside a talented and diverse cohort of classmates, building professional networks that extend beyond the classroom experience.

The ideal candidate can be located anywhere from across the nation, who has a storing interest in the HR career field. Work experience and/or internships are preferred, but not required for admission consideration. Professional experience raises the caliber of learning in the classroom through thoughtful and extensive team projects and discussions of real-world situations and solutions. While previous experience in the Human Resources field is not a requirement, it is also preferred. An MS in HRM complements and further builds upon SHRM related coursework.

The University of Connecticut requires that all applicants to graduate programs hold a bachelor's degree or its equivalent from a regionally accredited college or university.

The MSHRM program, because of its part-time status, is unable to issue visas. This program is also an online program only. Pursuant to U.S. immigration regulations, the US government will not approve an F-1 or J-1 visa for the purpose of coming to the U.S. to study with an online program. International students are welcome to apply for admission to this program if they are currently in the U.S. on another visa status that permits foreign nationals to engage in school enrollment online while meeting their primary visa objective, or if they complete the program from their home country.

The Graduate Program in Human Resource Management follows the School of Business graduate program fees, which are $1,150 per credit for 2024-25.  The approximate cost of the MS in Human Resources Management degree in the 2024-25 academic year is $37,950 not including course materials.

The UConn Online MS in HRM offers the support of a professional academic advisor which includes a concierge course registration service to facilitate the class registration process. The student support also includes personalized staff guidance from the application process, during your program experience to graduation and beyond.
