Requirements for Graduate HRD Program

For Admission

The most important qualification is that you have a strong interest in the Human Resources field. However, in order for our admissions department to determine how successful you will be in the program, you must submit a complete application.

Note: Students are selected wholly on the basis of individual merit. The University does not discriminate against any students or applicants seeking admission on the basis of their race, color, national or ethnic origin, religion or sex.

For a Graduate Assistantship, University Scholarship or Tabb Fellowship

For priority consideration, those applying for assistantship or scholarship for the academic year should submit credentials by March 15 to be considered for fall of that year.

For consideration of a Graduate Assistant position, University Scholarship or the Tabb Fellowship, the following are the minimum qualifications:

  • Undergraduate G.P.A. of 3.5 or higher
  • GRE Verbal score of 550 or higher
  • GRE Qualitative score of 550 or higher

In the past, most of the individuals receiving these appointments average about 3.65 undergraduate G.P.A. and about 1200 on the GRE's.  HR experience is a plus, but will not exclude a person from consideration.  This experience will be seen in light of the current candidate's status, i.e., a person who has just graduated from college who has done an internship in HR will be seen as an additional positive.
