  3. NPA Program’s Current Mission, pt.1 The nonprofit administration program is an interdisciplinary professional degree program housed in the social sciences. The program is intended for those who have or expect to have careers managing or administering nonprofit organizations in areas in which direct assistance is provided to people in need.

  4. NPA Program’s Current Mission, pt.2 The nonprofit administration program shapes experienced service providers of today into the administrators of the nonprofit organizations of tomorrow. The program prepares people to better serve their organizations and their communities by teaching approaches to leadership, team-building skill, ethical values and practices, nonprofit financial and resource management models, and strategic planning procedures among other practical administrative tools used in nonprofit organizations.

  5. NPA Program’s Current Mission, pt.3 The program improves their ability to address issues related to the pluralistic environment in which we live. In an increasingly diverse society comprised of people with expanding needs and sometimes decreasing ability to address them, nonprofit organizations play an increasingly important role in society. The administrators of these organizations must have the necessary leadership skills that this program provides.

  6. NPA Program’s Current Mission, pt.4 This nonprofit administration program is a complete learning experience. It requires exposure to the field, practical instruction, case-based learning, and learning experiences that are necessary to link theoretical instruction to applied settings. Since the intended outcome is to train leaders for community organizations, the curricular components of this program include mentorship, team-building, crisis-management, and strategic planning.
