The following requirements must be met in order to complete a major in Management and Human Resources.  For detailed course descriptions, please consult the Course Guide.

 

Please be aware of stated prerequisites for major courses (including business core courses) that need to be completed before taking the course.  Specific prerequisites can be found using the Course Guide.

 

Please note that these requirements are slightly different from past requirements and are only for those students admitted to the School of Business in Fall 2005 and after. Those students who were admitted to the Business School prior to Fall 2005 should refer to their DARS report for specific MHR major requirements.

Ways to major in Management and Human Resources (all options earn a major in MHR)

• Complete the Management option only
• Complete the Human Resources option only
• Complete the Entrepreneurship option only
• NOTE – Starting in the Fall of 2008, there will no longer be an admission process or enrollment cap on the entrepreneurship option.  Students wishing to add this major should do so by completing the Major Declaration form.  Students should see their academic advisors or the MHR department with questions about this policy.
• Complete two of the three options. (See rules for combining options below)
• NOTE – Competing two options still constitutes ONE major.  Students may not receive credit for completing all three options.

 

Rules for combining options

• Students may complete only two of three options
• For successful completion of two options, a student must take a minimum of 18 credits from among the listed courses.
• Double counting of MHR 399 across options within the MHR major is prohibited
