"2+1": Accelerated Bachelor's to Master's Program

MSPS is excited to announce our “2+1” programs for undergraduates planning to continue on to one of our master’s degrees – the HR3 and MSM3 programs.

 

HR3 or MSM3 students may take up to three (3) graduate, 500-level classes during their senior year. Not only will the classes count toward the 120 credits needed to earn a bachelor’s degree, but they will also give the graduating student a nine-credit head start on a Master of Science in Management (MSM) or a Master of Arts in Human Resource Management (MAHRM).

 

This offering is designed for academically motivated students who want to get on the fast track to meeting their educational goals.

Prospective 2+1 candidates must be enrolled in classes full-time with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better, and earn a “B” or better in graduate level courses taken at MSPS.

 

HR3/MSM3 scholars will receive a significant tuition discount and special consideration for the MSM or MAHRM programs when they apply.

 

Undergraduate admissions requirements for the program include:

·         MSPS application and application fee

·         Official university and high school/GED transcripts

·         Résumé

·         60+ college credits. Candidates with fewer credits may still eligible for admission to MSPS and are encouraged to apply. **Admission to HR3 or MSM3 programs may be deferred until 60+ credits are earned.**

·         Letter of recommendation – professional or academic
