Description
The NPM program prepares students for leadership positions in the local nonprofit sector and in international nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). The program attracts a wide range of applicants from the local nonprofit sector, undergraduate students who join the program as 4+1 students, retirees seeking a second career or voluntary service in the sector, and international students with experience or interest in the NGO sector. Students take the NM 901: Nonprofit World: Nonprofits, NGOs and Civil Society as their foundational course. A three-course thesis series consisting of Action Research and Thesis I and II at the end of the program allows students to apply knowledge acquired throughout the program in an action research project.
