Master in Nonprofit Management

A Bold Invention

Hamline didn't reinvent the master's in nonprofit management -- we invented it. The only degree of its kind in the Midwest, Hamline's nationally known program has been serving the top nonprofit community leaders for the past 10 years. The Hamline MNM integrates the best theories and practices of nonprofit management to produce innovative leaders who push the boundaries of the field and boldly move it forward.

My degree has absolutely helped me in my current work. I use it regularly. When the leadership teams meet, I can offer useful insight into the various organizational issues and nonprofit rules and regulations. I still refer to some of the course materials when discussing issues at work.
