Eligibility

To be considered for dual admission and fill your reserved seat in graduate or professional school, there are some requirements you must meet. Undergraduate Admission Requirements are for first-time in college students applying to earn a bachelor's degree. Graduate Admission Requirements are the standards students need to maintain, while earning their undergraduate degree, to remain eligible for the graduate or professional program.

Graduate Admission Requirements

 

Keep your dual admission status while you earn your bachelor’s.

Dual Admission reserves your seat in NSU’s Master of Human Resource Management program, but you must still complete a graduate application once you finish your bachelor’s degree.

Keep in mind that these are the basic requirements, and final determination of admission into the professional program is at the discretion of the H. Wayne Huizenga College of Business & Entrepreneurship.
