MBA & Master of Human Resources & Industrial Relations
Think Strategically About Organizational Challenges
The University of Minnesota HRIR-MBA Dual Degree program combines the strengths of two top-ranked professional programs from Minnesota Carlson and prepares graduates to become effective leaders in both business and human resources. The MBA program provides a solid foundation in managerial practices relevant to a diverse range of industries and business functions, while the Master of Human Resources and Industrial Relations program delivers a thorough understanding of contemporary HR practices.
The HRIR-MBA Dual Degree will add only one additional year of study to the standalone HRIR or MBA degree and culminate in the completion of two graduate degree programs. The HRIR-MBA Dual Degree program is the perfect choice for students already accepted to the Master of Human Resources and Industrial Relations program, as well as potential students who have yet to apply to the University of Minnesota. Under this study plan, students begin their Full-Time MBA coursework in the fall semester of year two.
