Setting Up Your MS/HRM Degree Plan
Each graduate student must submit an official degree plan to the Office of Graduate Studies (OGS) for approval. This plan formally declares your degree objective and the specific courses that you’re required to complete as part of your degree program. You, the MS/HRM faculty coordinator and the head of the Department of Management must sign the degree plan.
