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 with Nonprofit Learning Point and earns a grade of A or B.
Please note that this is a certificate of completion with Nonprofit Learning Point and not the Graduate Certificate in Nonprofit Management from The Master of Public Administration program.
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 -including up to three credits in technology classes, Conversational Spanish classes or the new course series in Case Management. 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.
