Hi Stacey et al,

I have searched for business schools for HR program but I was unable to judge the schools how good they are for that program. Hence, I was enforced to request for this help.

Could you please provide the list of business schools that are good offering HR?

Also kindly let me know a few schools that are good at HR but can accept applicants who have the score of 650 around and 2 years of work ex? I know this is not the correct way of asking the question but please consider this as basic information using which the applicant can be competitive enough to apply for the business schools.

Please provide me information for my above two questions.

thanks so much for your advanced response.

Kiran

Dear Kiran,

HR is not a common career path for MBAs, so many schools do not offer many HR-specific electives and students tend to have more of a general management focus in their MBA programs. I would suggest looking into schools that offer a Master of Science in Human Resources Management degree in addition to a MBA degree. These schools will generally have the more specific electives you need. Likewise, you might consider getting your MS HRM instead.

Having said that, I think it is possible to pursue and be successful in HR with a general management MBA from many schools. Thus you should also look at MBA programs with strong general management programs with GMAT averages in the 600-660 range (assuming all other applications components are strong) for your best chance of admission.

Good luck,
Lisa

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
