Potential MSHRM Degree Timeline

This is a hypothetical timeline that shows how a student can complete the Master of Science in Human Resources Management degree program at Thomas Edison State University in about 12 months.

To demonstrate how you could progress through the program over an 12-month period, we are using the January term as your first term and move through the program during the six graduate terms offered by the School of Business and Management each year. Each term is 8 weeks.

The timeline is informational in nature and does not represent an actual program plan. Enrolled graduate students work with our deans and academic advisors to develop a program plan that maps out how a student will complete their degree and whether they can transfer previously earned graduate credits or earn graduate credit for what they know through prior learning assessment.
