The Nonprofit Concentration
prepares students to become innovative and critical thinkers to operate and
manage in the nonprofit sector. The Nonprofit Concentration’s unique
design bridges theoretical knowledge with real-world experience. As our
students prepare for the beginning of their careers or advancement in their
current positions, they gain insight into the interdependence between the
nonprofit, public, and for-profit sectors.
Students graduating with a concentration in Nonprofit
Organizations will be able to span the boundaries of the nonprofit, public, and
for-profit sectors to:
Assess community needs,
Navigate the realm of public policy affecting
the sector, its clients, and its services, and
Strategically and effectively manage
organizations that ultimately benefit society
Students interested in obtaining a concentration in
Nonprofit Organizations within a Master of Public Administration (MPA) program
must apply and enroll in the MPA within the School of Public Affairs (SPA) and
must adhere to all master degree program requirements.
