Are you purpose-driven? You can channel that passion into action that makes a difference through a career in a nonprofit organization. Changing the world for the better is not restricted to a major. You can combine your primary program with this minor's competency-based educational emphasis.

Description

The minor program in nonprofit leadership and management empowers students to positively impact the community in which they work. The nonprofit sector in the U.S. is unique in form and function, with more than 1.6 million organizations.

This program introduces students to the knowledge and skills required for successful professional careers with nonprofit social sector organizations that exist to improve the quality of life of communities.

Students from various disciplines such as business, communication, education, global studies, museum studies, nursing, public affairs, religious studies, social work and sustainability find this program a beneficial supplement to their existing program as many find that the career pathways from their degree occur within nonprofit organization forms.

This program affords students the opportunity to earn the national Certified Nonprofit Professional credential awarded through the Nonprofit Leadership Alliance. https://nla1.org/cnp-professionals/

3 year programs

These programs allow students to fast-track their studies after admission and earn a bachelor's degree in three years or fewer while participating in the same high-quality educational experience of a 4-year option. Students should talk to their academic advisor to get started.

Accelerated master's

These programs allow students to accelerate their studies to earn a bachelor's plus a master's degree in as few as five years (for some programs).

Each program has requirements students must meet to be eligible for consideration. Acceptance to the graduate program requires a separate application. Students typically receive approval to pursue the accelerated master’s during the junior year of their bachelor's degree program. Interested students can learn about eligibility requirements and how to apply.
