Overview

Did you know you can earn your bachelor’s and master’s degree in just five years? You can with URI’s accelerated bachelor’s to master’s (ABM) in Labor Relations and Human Resources.

Students from all undergraduate majors are encouraged to apply. In five years, you will earn two degrees: a bachelor’s degree in your desired field and a master’s degree in Labor Relations and Human Resources.

As an ABM student, you will be permitted to double count credits toward both degrees up to one third (12 credits – four 3 credit courses) of the total credits required for the M.S. degree (36 credits total). 6 credits at the 400 level as approved by the director and 6 credits at the 500-level approved as electives in the major during the final year. All credits counted toward the M.S. portion of the ABM, including 400-level courses, must be earned at URI.

Once accepted into this program, you must complete all degree requirements for the ABM within two years after enrollment and coding as ABM students. An additional year may be allowed with the permission of the Graduate School. Failure to complete the ABM in the allotted time effectively ends the ABM and the students will not be able to double count credits.
