The Graduate Certificate in Nonprofit Management is designed to develop management competencies for working professionals in public and nonprofit organizations. The focus is on developing practical skills that both build and increase the management capacity of organizations. This includes financial management of resources and accountability for performance, governance issues and the legal and ethical environment of nonprofit organizations, human resources, fundraising, and technology and information systems. Course work balances practical application with a basic theoretical understanding of these topics. The program may provide a foundation for further graduate work in business, public administration, health, and human service, and other disciplines, or extend the skills of professionals who already have graduate degrees, such as a Master's degree in Public Administration or Social Work.
