Nonprofit Management is the discipline of leading and operating organizations that serve a mission rather than chasing profit. In this program, you’ll learn how to inspire teams, manage resources, and create meaningful impact in your community and beyond. At Grace, we’ll help you grow both as a leader and as a servant-minded professional who leads with purpose.

You can manage programs, direct fundraising efforts, oversee teams, plan strategy, and help guide nonprofit organizations toward lasting impact. Whether you already work in the nonprofit space or you’re preparing to enter it, this degree equips you to lead with confidence.

The average time it takes a student to complete the degree is two years. Students take one course each 8-week session. The program requires 36 total credit hours.
