Courses in this Program

CSU Global’s accredited online Master’s Degree in Human Resource Management requires the completion of 36 core credits. (Some students may be required to take RES501 – Fundamentals of Research and Writing as part of their program if they have an undergraduate GPA below 3.00. In this case, the degree is 39 credits.)

Students who do not have a previous business-related degree from an ACBSP-accredited program must complete BUS500 before completing other program requirements. Once the undergraduate program evaluation is completed, students whose prior degrees do not meet the requirements will complete the BUS500, rather than RES500 or RES501.

Provisionally admitted students whose undergraduate degrees meet the requirements will complete RES500 or RES501, rather than BUS500.

HRM595 is an optional course that will provide students with practical experience in human resource management. This course may not be available in all states, see the State Specific Authorization Policy under Admissions Policies.
