Program Design

The MHRM program consists of a minimum of thirty-three semester hours beyond the baccalaureate degree. The program is delivered entirely online to accommodate all students, including those who are currently working. While a majority of enrollees are part-time students, the program also enrolls many full-time students. Full-time students usually take three semesters to complete the degree.

The program is divided into four components:

Required Core Courses

(24 credits)

The following are required for all MHRM students:

Elective Courses

(9 credits)

Students select an additional nine credit hours of 500-/600-level MGT courses to complete the requirements for the degree. Students may also take courses outside of the department, but must be chosen with prior consent of the student’s advisor.

Electives offered within the Department of Management include the following:

Human Resource Professional Credentials

All students admitted into the MHRM program will be required to take either the HRCI or the SHRM credentialing examinations. This will be taken in their last semester of study and is paid for by the college. Students documenting current PHR, SPHR, SHRM-CP, or SHRM-SCP certification may have this requirement waived.
