Program Overview

Our MBA in Nonprofit Management and Public Administration combines the strength of the MBA curriculum with the deeper study of management issues and operations unique to nonprofit organizations and government agencies. You’ll have the opportunity to learn from experts in the field who bring their real-world experience into the classroom.

Graduate Certificate

Our graduate MBA certificate (or “Mini-MBA”) is ideal for busy working professionals looking to stand out in their industry without committing to a full MBA. Pursuing this graduate certificate will help you upskill as you learn the important basics of business. We’ll give you a taste of what an MBA is like while you gain a competitive advantage over your peers.

Post-Baccalaureate students may apply to the university to pursue a graduate MBA certificate in the following areas:

  • Business Administration: complete 12 credits of coursework from the MBA core
  • Management: complete a combination of 12 credits of coursework from the MBA core and MBA concentrations
  • Concentration-specific (i.e. Accounting, Human Resources, Leadership, etc.): complete 12 credits of coursework from within one MBA concentration

Students may at any time transition into the MBA degree program course of study through the standard application process.

What to Expect

Because we want to make this program work with your schedule, we offer classes at our main campus, our off-site locations, and online. Our nonprofit MBA is designed for working professionals, which means you can get your degree in two years—while still working full-time. Plus, we don’t require the GRE or GMAT to apply.

Consider adding a bachelor's degree in public health which will give you the skills and understanding to help protect and promote the health of the general population through prevention and health equity. Knowledge in public health will enhance your abilities to serve as an effective non-profit leader.
