Business Administration/Human Resource Management Dual Degree (M.B.A./M.A.)

The M.B.A. and M.A. in human resource management dual-degree program is designed to meet the needs of those students desiring a strong business and human resource management background. A dual degree will prepare students for executive-level responsibilities in human resource departments by better enabling them to understand the business context within which human resource decisions are made.

Upon successful completion of all dual-degree requirements, students will receive both an M.B.A. and an M.A. in human resource management. Students successfully completing both degrees will achieve the outcomes of each of the two programs. See the M.B.A. program for student outcomes. See the M.A. in human resource management for student outcomes.

Admission Requirements: In addition to universitywide requirements, students applying to the Business Administration/Human Resource Management dual degree must meet the admission requirements of each of the two programs.

Minimum Grade Requirements: For students in dual-degree programs, the minimum grade requirement for each degree remains in effect.

Courses drawn from the M.B.A. program must be completed with a C or better. All graduate students in the School of Business and Technology must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0.
