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 learning outcomes of each of the two programs. See the M.B.A. program for its student outcomes and the M.A. in human resource management for its student outcomes.

Admission Requirements: In addition to the university's requirements, students applying to the business administration/human resource management dual-degree program 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. For students in the business administration/human resource management dual-degree program, all course requirements drawn from the M.A. in human resource management must be completed with a B- or better. 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.
