Developmental contexts of nonprofit management education
Abstract
The 1980s and 1990s saw the beginning and rapid growth of nonprofit
management education. Literature on this topic has focused principally
on directly practical concerns such as rationale, curriculum, faculty,
students, funding, alumni, and employer satisfaction and the best
place for such programs within universities. Broadening that
discussion, this article clarifies why nonprofit management education
took the form it did and happened when it did by setting it within
three contexts: professional education, management education, and the
post-World War II growth of the nonprofit sector.
