Nonprofits today require managers to have a high level of managerial expertise, oversee a wide range of responsibilities, and manage people and projects both efficiently and effectively. As nonprofit organizations increasingly face the threat of privatization and for-profit competition, they must operate with business-like efficiencies and strategies.

In order to successfully lead a nonprofit organization, senior managers must possess knowledge and skills in the areas of human resources management of salaried employees and volunteers, fundraising, program development and evaluation, financial management, marketing, and legal and governance issues.

The Master of Science in Nonprofit Management program integrates theoretical approaches with practical applications to prepare students for positions in either small or large nonprofit organizations. Students will be able to tailor the degree program to their unique needs by leveraging electives in areas such as human services, health, and education.
