No, prior experience in HR is not a requirement to enroll in this program. While a background in HR or business can be beneficial, our program has been created to support both experiencing professionals looking to advance in their career and those new to the field.

Yes! Below is the list of the required courses for the Human Resource Management and Development program. Courses provide a comprehensive foundation in ethical leadership, organizational design, workforce management, and global HR strategies, empowering students with critical thinking, decision-making, and people management skills.

We encourage students to submit their graduate application and admissions materials by the application deadline. However, we will continue to accept applications on a continuous basis until the start of the session.  Applications considered complete after the priority deadline can be considered for admission for the next session.

We’re pleased to offer six entry points throughout the academic year, giving new students flexibility in starting their journey.

Applicants for any of the student classifications except non-degree must meet all requirements for admission to the graduate programs. To be considered for admission, applicants must provide the following:

1. Completed graduate application.
2. Provide evidence of a baccalaureate or more advanced degree from an accredited or equivalent post-secondary institution with a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.5 on a 4.0 scale for regular admissions status. The cumulative grade point average is computed on the highest degree held at the time of application.
3. Request that official transcripts for all academic credits received from any post-secondary institutions be sent directly to Edgewood College Graduate and Professional Studies.

No, these exams are not required. The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) and Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) are standardized tests often used for admission into advanced business degree programs. Instead, our admission process takes a holistic approach, considering multiple factors beyond a single test score, making graduate education more accessible.

Up to 10 hours of graduate level coursework may be submitted for consideration of transfer for application to this degree program. Approval of the program director is required. To be considered, a course must have been taken within the past five years. For more information about transfer credits, please contact your admissions counselor.

Earning a graduate degree is a significant investment in your future, reflecting your commitment to lifelong learning and professional excellence. This program is designed to be both flexible and competitively priced. For the most up-to-date information, please visit our Tuition & Fees webpage.
