The minor in nonprofit studies introduces students to the theories and practical realities of working in the American nonprofit or charitable sector. The required course work highlights the historical, legal, and social foundations of nonprofit organizations and their operating characteristics. It focuses on distinctive issues such as mission-drive management, earned and unearned revenue, and volunteerism. Elective courses and experiential learning encourage students to explore their professional and personal interests.
Each of the core courses is writing intensive with a requirement of at least 3,500 words in logs, essays, and analyses. At the end of the program, writing assignments are aggregated with a cover document into a portfolio that documents the student’s experience in studying the nonprofit world.
This program of study is offered by New Century College .
