NONPROFIT MANAGEMENT

The Department of Public Administration offers several programs in nonprofit management for both graduates and undergraduates. At the graduate level, students may enroll in a Master of Nonprofit Management (MNM) program, or a Graduate Certificate in Nonprofit Management. Undergraduates may elect an Undergraduate Certificate in Nonprofit Management, or a minor in American Humanics.

GRADUATE PROGRAMS

Master of Nonprofit Management (MNM)

UCF's Department of Public Administration offers a Master of Nonprofit Management (MNM) program. The MNM program is completely online and offers opportunities for students to prepare for employment or advance their careers as administrators in the nonprofit sector or with those organizations that partner with the nonprofit sector. Graduates of the MNM program are equipped with the nonprofit management knowledge and analytic skills needed for a successful career in this rapidly growing sector.

The MNM program curriculum consists of 33 credits. Students complete a core of nine courses (27 credits), with the option of a thesis or two electives (6 credits). Students must achieve a minimum grade of 3.0 ("B") for each core class and maintain an overall program grade point average (GPA) of 3.0.

Internships are available and students without practical administrative experience in the nonprofit sector are strongly advised to complete an internship as part of their elective area.

Admission to the MNM program is based on a 3.0 GPA for the last 60 attempted hours of undergraduate study or a total score of 1000 or higher on the verbal-quantitative portions of the GRE. You may be accepted conditionally if only one of these requirements is met, but before you will be allowed to enroll for your second semester, you must have official transcripts as well as your GRE scores on file with the UCF Graduate Studies office.

Master of Nonprofit Management, Nonresident Cohort

For nonresident students living outside of the state of Florida, the Department offers an MNM Cohort program. The program is totally online and the curriculum is identical to the resident program. Students in the cohort program pay less than half of the out-of-state tuition.

Graduate Certificate in Nonprofit Management

The Graduate Certificate in Nonprofit Management is completely online and provides specialized, graduate-level knowledge in nonprofit management, resource development, strategic planning, program evaluation, and volunteerism. The certificate supports those who currently work, or are looking for advancement, in the nonprofit sector or in organizations that partner with the nonprofit sector.

The nonprofit certificate program curriculum consists of 18 credits. Students complete a core of five courses (15 credits) and one elective (3 credits)

Admission to the nonprofit certificate program is completion of a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited institution.

Graduate Certificate in Nonprofit Management, Nonresident Cohort

The Graduate Certificate Cohort program is specifically for our nonresident students living outside of the state of Florida. The program is completely online and the curriculum is identical to the resident program. Students in the cohort program pay less than half of the regular out-of-state tuition.
