How to Apply to the
Master of Human Resources Program

Applicants must have a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited college or university by the time they enroll. Students accepted into the program have a wide range of academic backgrounds, including the social sciences, business, the humanities, and other areas. The admission committee does not require a major in a particular area.

Applications must be received by either December 1 (January decision) or April 1 (May decision). Applications will be only considered upon receipt of all materials.

• Submit a completed Application for Graduate Admission.
• Request official transcripts of your academic work from all colleges or universities that you attended, including Rollins College.
• Submit current (within the last five years) official test scores from one of the following: Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) or the Graduate Record Examination (GRE).  Applicants who have already earned a masters degree, have four or more years of professional level/upper management HR experience, or have an undergraduate Grade Point Average of 3.5 or better (four-point scale) may petition to have the test scores waived. Submit request on a separate piece of paper with the application.
• Submit two letters of reference on forms provided below. Select professional and academic supporters who know you and can appraise your ability to do academic work at the graduate level in HR. One letter should come from an employer.
• Submit a current resume.
• Submit a one- or two-page Statement of Purpose essay clarifying your expectations from graduate study. Please address the following questions:

  1) Why do you want to pursue a Master of Human Resources degree?
  2) How will the MHR program enhance your performance in your current position?
  3) How does the MHR program relate to your career goals?

• Students who have earned degrees from non-English speaking institutions should submit scores from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).  A score of at least 550 (or better) on the paper test, or 213 (or better) on the computer test, or 80 (or better) on the Internet-based test (IBT) is required on the TOEFL for admission.
• Students who are not American citizens must demonstrate appropriate permanent resident or visa status.  Only full-time student status will qualify students for an F1 Visa.
• Submit the non-refundable application fee of $50 payable to Rollins College.  A check, money order, Visa, or MasterCard is acceptable.
