Nonprofit organizations play an increasingly prominent role in the provision of public services.
Given the ongoing decentralization of federal policy, the staff and volunteers of nonprofit organizations face complex management and programmatic challenges requiring skilled managers and analysts. Thus, nonprofit managers need to be knowledgeable about an array of management and policy concerns including tax issues, fund raising, human resources, building community support, and volunteer recruitment and oversight. The nonprofit management gateway is designed for students interested in working in a management capacity in nonprofit organizations. The school offers a broad spectrum of courses structured to appeal to students with diverse backgrounds and interests. In addition to courses taught at the Evans School, students take advantage of courses taught elsewhere in the University including those in Business, Social Work, Public Health, Forest Resources, and Urban Planning.
