Nonprofit Leadership Programs
If you're a service-minded student with a calling toward helping others, our Nonprofit Leadership minor and certificate programs are great supplements to your degree.
What You'll Study
A minor or certificate in nonprofit leadership is ideal for leaders looking to begin a career with a nonprofit organization. We designed both options to help foster your drive to give back to the community.
You'll learn foundational public relations skills and how to manage diverse workplaces. Our leadership, financial management and fundraising courses will equip you with the tools to keep your nonprofit organization running smoothly.
You'll also be able to apply what you learn to the real world with an internship with a regional nonprofit organization. You've already ignited your passion to serve others; now let us teach you the skills you need for a career in it.
