CERTIFICATE OF NONPROFIT MANAGEMENT
(offered by the School of Public Affairs & Administration)

The School of Public Affairs & Administration's Summer Certificate Program of Nonprofit Management is designed for:

-nonprofit or private sector practitioners who want to take graduate courses in nonprofit  management without applying for the M.P.A. degree;
-graduate students who want to explore a career in nonprofit management;
-individuals who possess a graduate degree and need to develop managerial knowledge  and skills.

“The mission of nonprofit management education is two-fold:

1- to prepare those who currently are or intend to become leaders or managers of private,     not-for-profit organizations; and
2- to educate leaders and managers of public sector and business organizations to the     nuances of nonprofits so that they can interact more effectively with nonprofits. . .

nonprofits do not operate in isolation but are very much intertwined with, yet distinct from, business and government.”

-Dennis Young, Public Performance & Management Review.
