Part-Time MHRM

Fisher’s Part-Time MHRM option allows working professional students at a manageable pace to allow for balance between school and their careers. Applications for part-time students are accepted for both spring and autumn terms. However, we encourage interested students to begin in autumn to best experience onboarding and to join a larger cohort. Learn more about the application process here.

Part-time flexibility for busy working professionals

• Part-time MHRM students select a sequenced course load of 1-3 nights of class per week (between Mon-Thurs, 6:15-9:30 PM)
• Part-time students complete 39 required credit hours for the degree typically within 3 years but can take up to 6. This is the same program, degree, and the total number of credit hours as the full-time program. It is simply spread out more to accommodate the busy schedule of working professionals.
• Thanks to the new MHRM curriculum enhancement our part-time students can complete the program faster than ever!
• Start in either the autumn or spring semester as a part-time student.
• Pursuing a summer internship is often not feasible or recommended for working professional students. Part-time students can instead pursue the tutorial option to complete the Practicum requirement.

When do you need to decide?

Part-time students can begin with a part-time course load, or can switch from full-time to part-time status later in the MHRM program. Part-time students are strongly encouraged to meet regularly with their academic advisor to ensure all curriculum requirements are met by the desired graduation date.

If a students’ course load falls below 8 credit hours, they are considered “part-time” by The Ohio State University Graduate School and will be assessed tuition & fees accordingly.
