As a result of successfully completing the MSHRM program, graduates should improve their ability to apply problem-solving skills to designing human resource management systems that fit the strategic objectives of organizations and to use written and verbal communication skills effectively to communicate the results of their problem-solving analyses and recommendations.

If the student has an undergraduate major in business, an elective course may be substituted.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS FOR THE MASTER OF SCIENCE IN HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

Conditional Admission
Students not satisfying the minimum graduate admission test score and GPA requirements for unconditional admission may be conditionally admitted to the program. After the student completes the first three graduate (6000 level) courses with a ‘‘B’’ or better average, the student will be granted unconditional admission. Students not satisfying conditional admission requirements will be dropped from the program for one calendar year, after which time the student must petition for readmission. A letter of recommendation is required with all applications for the MSHRM program. The individual’s potential for success in the MSHRM program as well as his/her written and oral communication skills should be addressed.

CURRICULUM
All courses offer three semester hours credit except HRM 6625, 6626, and 6627.

TRANSFER CREDIT
A maximum of four courses (12 semester hours) taken at another regionally accredited institution, each with a grade of "B" or better, can be applied toward the degree. These courses must be comparable in catalog description to Troy courses and approved by the appropriate dean/ associate dean /department chair.

ADMISSION TO CANDIDACY
