Nonprofit Management

Lay the foundation for a rewarding and fulfilling career as a leader in nonprofit, faith-based, or community-based organizations. Nonprofits provide a vital link in addressing the economic and social gaps in society that are not effectively addressed by either government or private industry. Today in our country, there is a growing need for well-managed nonprofit and non-governmental organizations that can create and advance positive change in communities.
