Nonprofit organizations exist to fulfill a mission, often related to serving people, communities, members, or social causes. Nonprofits reinvest surplus revenues to further their missions, and to address societal challenges. One of the most important factors in predicting an organization’s ability to achieve its mission is the quality of its leadership team. To succeed, nonprofit organizations need to operate as efficiently as any private-sector business.

The developing nonprofit leader requires a master’s program specifically designed for an environment where success is measured by impact and the bottom line. The Master of Business Administration with a concentration in nonprofit management program continues to prepare talented, nonprofit leaders with know-how and confidence.

“Enrolling in the MBA was a major investment in my future. This is a great program with great instructors that care.”

Latranda Thurmond, MBA’16
