Faculty Advisor: Dr. Dennis Young
Nonprofit organizations employ one of every 12 paid workers in the nation and as many volunteers, and generate more than $800 billion in revenues each year. This concentration prepares students to meet the challenges of this growing, diverse and critical part of our society. Its twin goals are to help nonprofit managers already working in the field to advance their careers and to assist those just beginning to gain the skills needed to become effective professionals.
Students completing the MPA in Nonprofit Management can also earn a certificate in Nonprofit Leadership from American Humanics as part of the program at Georgia State University. For more information on the American Humanics leadership certificate, visit our AH website.
