Certificate of achievement
“It’s an excellent program. The program gives me and my staff an invaluable opportunity to become educated about nonprofit management that’s organized and affordable.”
– Program participant
The Certificate of Achievement in Nonprofit Management can be earned once a student completes at least 12 courses for 12 university credits.
The student must complete at least one course within each of the seven curriculum focus areas (listed below) with the remaining five credits from any focus area or technology classes (up to three technology classes will count toward the certificate). Several courses in each focus area will be offered every semester, and students may select courses within the focus areas which best meet their training needs.
