Certificate in Nonprofit Management

Entrance Requirements

Students are required to meet the admission standards for admission to the Masters of Public Administration or Masters of Public Policy degree program, with the exception of GREs, which are not required for admission to the Graduate Certificate Program.

Relation to the Master's Programs

If certificate students decide to apply to the MPA or MPP degree program, they must meet the admissions requirements of each program, including GREs. Up to 9 credits of their certificate coursework taken prior to admission to a degree program will be accepted in the master's program within two years of completing the course and if a grade of B or better has been earned in the course. Certificate students who think they may wish to apply all of their certificate courses toward a degree (that is, all 12 credits) thus need to apply and gain admission to the degree program before registering for their fourth course.
