Master of Science in Human Resources Management

Admission to the Master of Science in Human Resource Management (MSHRM) program is based upon the completion of the general admission requirements of Graduate Admissions. For admission into the MSHRM program an acceptable score on the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) or Graduate Record Examination (GRE) and acceptable academic undergraduate performance are required. The GMAT is strongly preferred.

Students for whom English is not their native language must also take the Test of English as a Foreign Language Internet Based Test (TOEFL iBT), or International English Language Testing System (IELTS).

A standardized test score (GMAT or GRE) will not be used as the sole criterion or the primary criterion for determining an applicant's admission to the MSHRM program. Specifically, multiple criteria are used to make admission decisions. Unconditional acceptance is based on consideration of all the information listed below and the decision to deny admission is not based on any single criterion.

Applicants are encouraged to submit with the application a r\u00e9sum\u00e9 that highlights professional and personal accomplishments, linguistic abilities, computer expertise and HR experience.

Along with the grade point average and GMAT or GRE scores, admission criteria include the following:

An undergraduate grade point average of 3.00 on a 4.0 scale, as calculated by Graduate Admissions, is typical of a successful candidate. This will be integrated into a formula or index that multiplies approximately the last 60 hours of the undergraduate GPA by 200 and adds the resulting value to the GMAT Score. An index score greater than 1100 is typical of a successful candidate.
GMAT sub scores (verbal and quantitative) are also considered in the admission decision. A GMAT total score greater than 500 is typical of a successful candidate.
A GRE quantitative percentile greater than 50% and Verbal percentile greater than 50% is typical of a successful applicant.
An applicant whose native language is not English must demonstrate a sufficient level of skill with the English language to assure success in graduate studies as defined in the TOEFL and IELTS Test Score Minimums section  under Admissions Requirements and Procedures in the Graduate Catalog.
Grades in specified undergraduate business and non-business courses (math, accounting, economics, statistics, for example)
Educational objectives and quality of written expression of the 200 word application essay.
Letters of recommendation from three persons familiar with the applicant's academic background and/or work experience who can assess the applicant's potential success in graduate school.
General and specific program accreditation status of degree-granting institution.
Professional work experience.
Professional certification or licensure.
