Students apply to the dual degree program as incoming freshmen and are admitted directly into the MSHRM graduate program at the same time as their admission as undergraduate students.
Dual degree students are guaranteed a place in the Master of Science in Human Resource Management program provided they continue, as undergraduate students, to meet program-specific criteria to progress into enrollment in the graduate program. Dual degree students, therefore, have a space reserved for them in the graduate program beginning in their first year, with clear criteria and achievements required to progress into the graduate program.
Combined with advisement from their undergraduate academic advisor, participation in activities and programs offered by the Welch College of Business & Technology and the MSHRM program provide strong support toward successful progression into graduate study.
Students in the MSHRM Dual Degree Program earn a Bachelor's and an MSHRM degree in five years. Students complete the bachelor's degree in the traditional four-year time frame and complete one year of graduate study in the MSHRM program, earning both the bachelor's degree and the master's degree within five years. This option is open to students in the following undergraduate majors:
Management
Sport Management
Dual degree students pursuing the MSHRM degree may complete up to six credits toward their graduate degree during their undergraduate studies. These credits count toward both the undergraduate and the graduate degrees. Students, therefore, save on the cost of graduate tuition as these credits are included in the cost of the full-time undergraduate tuition.
