Curricular Variations in Nonprofit Management Graduate Programs
Abstract
A survey on universities and colleges offering nonprofit
management graduate programs was conducted by highly experienced
educationists, Naomi B. Wish and Roseanne M. Mirabella. A
questionnaire was mailed to deans and program directors at more than
one thousand colleges and universities that belonged to the American
Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business, the National Association
of Public Affairs and Administration, the Association for Research
on Nonprofit Organizations and Voluntary Action, and the Nonprofit
Academic Centers Council. It was found that as of March 1997,
seventy-six universities and colleges offered graduate degree
programs with a concentration (three or more courses) in the
management of nonprofit organizations. The diversity of topics and
the depth of course work was evident in universities that had
developed three or more courses in the management of nonprofit
organizations within a public administration degree program. Five
universities included in the analysis offered a master's degree in
nonprofit management.
