The Nonprofit Management certificate prepares graduates for employment in the “third” sector, a sector in which they will be able to fulfill their interest in aligning work with personal values and a sense of mission. This minor helps provide students with skills and competencies to move into entry-level roles in the nonprofit sector by requiring five courses specifically geared to understanding how this sector differs from the private and public sectors and to key employment categories within nonprofit organizations. Students will become well versed in how nonprofits approach, fulfill, fund, and report on their missions, and how they tell the story of their successes. This major will address aspects of leadership within the nonprofit sector as well, to facilitate graduates’ growth and aspirations for lifelong careers.
