The combined Bachelor's + Master's degree programs allow students to complete 12 graduate credit hours while still undergraduates. These three graduate level courses will count toward both the undergraduate and graduate degree programs.
DePaul Undergraduate Degree + Human Resources (MS)
The Master of Science in Human Resources addresses the need for strategic and business-minded professionals to manage today's organizational workforce issues. Students gain proficiency in a wide range of human resources areas including employee attraction and retention, diversity, the global economy, employee training, career development, new technology, incentives, total rewards and performance management.
The program prepares students for careers such as compensation consultant, benefits consultant, trainer, HR analyst, recruiter, labor relations representative and HR director.
DePaul degree-seeking undergraduate students interested in earning a Master of Science in Human Resources may apply to the bachelor's degree/Human Resources (MS) combined program. Students may be able to obtain both degrees in an expedited period, typically in five years.
