The Master in Nonprofit Management (MANM)
Nonprofit organizations work for the community. The cause may be human rights, the environment, the arts, human services, philanthropy, healthcare, or education; the mission is to transform people's lives.
The Master in Nonprofit Management (MANM) degree is dedicated to preparing professionals to meet the complex fiscal and operational challenges that are unique to the nonprofit sector. The curriculum content combines the theories of nonprofit management with best practices of effective nonprofit organizations. Students learn skills that help practitioners define goals, adhere to mission, and respond to demands of their multiple stakeholders.
