Bachelor of Arts in Nonprofit Administration

Program Overview

The nonprofit sector comprises organizations that work for societal benefit without seeking profit, often driven by a passion to create positive change in the world. Working for a nonprofit doesn’t mean sacrificing income; many professionals find fulfilling, impactful roles that offer very competitive compensation and benefits. Moreover, nonprofits in Northeast Ohio play an integral role in shaping the region’s cultural, economic, and social landscapes. Many Greater Cleveland nonprofit executives represent key civic leaders in the region.

In this major, students delve deep into the role and nuances of nonprofits, emphasizing the philanthropic, altruistic, and civic undertakings they champion. A specific emphasis is placed on solving social problems. Through their coursework and other experiences, students develop their problem-solving skills and learn effective management concepts. The curriculum acknowledges that each social sector (public, nonprofit, and for-profit) can contribute meaningfully to the greater good and that large public problems often require collaboration between organizations.

Prospective students who possess a sense of altruism, a desire to solve social problems, and motivation to make their communities a better place will find a home in this Nonprofit Administration major.
