Master of Nonprofit Organizations
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Master of Nonprofit Organizations (MNO or MNPO), Master of Nonprofit Management (MNM), Master of Not-for-Profit Leadership (MNPL), and similarly named degrees offer graduate-level training in management and leadership in the nonprofit sector.
As evidenced by the lack of a uniform name, degrees in nonprofit management are a relatively new phenomenon. While some universities have established centers for nonprofit studies, such as the Mandel Center for Nonprofit Organizations at Case Western Reserve University, the Institute for Nonprofit Organizations at the University of Georgia, and the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University, most nonprofit management programs are within schools of social work, public administration, or management.
[edit] Curriculum
A typical nonprofit Master's program would require coursework in most or all of the following subjects:
- Strategic Planning
- Fundraising
- Ethics
- Program Evaluation
- Human Resource Development and/or Volunteer Management
- Nonprofit Law
Program structures include traditional resident graduate programs, part-time programs for working professionals, and correspondence or online programs. In addition, many universities offering Master's degrees also offer graduate certificates for students pursuing a graduate degree in another discipline.
