Focused on Mission
Business Administration, B.B.A. - Nonprofit Management
A nonprofit organization is any group that is mission-driven rather than profit-driven. There is an increasing need for qualified nonprofit professionals to effectively manage the business and financial affairs of these organizations. Nonprofit management is remarkable for both its similarities to and differences from traditional business management. Not only do nonprofit managers face the same management, personnel, marketing, and financial issues as any for-profit organization, they are also faced with unique characteristics such as fundraising, board governance, management of volunteers, and program assessment. This concentration combines a solid business foundation with courses that will increase understanding of the nonprofit sector and the unique challenges that nonprofit leaders face.
Flexibility
The Junior and Senior years of this concentration can be completed entirely online.
Employment Opportunities
