The curriculum for the minor in nonprofit leadership will prepare
students for the unique functions and responsibilities of working and
leading in the nonprofit arena. Courses cover the key elements including
strategic planning; fundraising; lobbying and advocacy; recruiting,
training, and managing a volunteer workforce along with managing salaried
employees. Students develop knowledge and skills in basic principles of
leadership; foundation skills for managing volunteers; communication
skills for advocating for change; planning skills for both program and
grant development and management; and relationship skills for building
community partnerships. The capstone project is designed for students to
integrate concepts from the required courses in nonprofit leadership,
while using entrepreneurial skills to develop a hypothetical sustainable
nonprofit organization in an area of their interest.
