Master of Arts in Communication/Certificate in Nonprofit Management

The Master of Arts in Communication and Certificate in Nonprofit Management combined credential allows students to sharpen their skills and knowledge in the social science of communication and apply them to mission-driven nonprofit organizations. Graduates of the combined program will be well prepared to lead their nonprofit organizations in designing and implementing communication campaigns that promote reforms in public policy, mobilize constituencies to lobby their elected officials, advance the organization's goals through public and media relations, or change behaviors in ways that improve the health, well-being, and public safety of all. Students who pursue careers in the corporate or public sectors, and who interact with non-profit or nongovernmental organizations or serve on nonprofit boards of directors, benefit from a broader understanding of the impact of nonprofits in the U.S., as well as the common challenges associated with managing them.

To enroll in both programs, students must apply and be accepted into both programs. Students who complete the requirements in both programs will receive two documents—a communication diploma and a nonprofit certificate. Students may complete one program before continuing with the second program or may be in both programs concurrently. Pending graduates must complete the graduation application for each school. Students who finish the combined program participate in a single commencement ceremony.

Please note that this entry is for currently enrolled students only. The Certificate in Nonprofit Management program is not currently accepting new students.
