There are plans to develop additional microcredentials in nonprofit marketing, nonprofit innovation, nonprofit technology, and nonprofit administration in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this innovative program, students with a bachelor\u2019s degree c<\/a>an apply as a non-degree student without committing to a full graduate degree. This program is designed to be flexible, allowing students to balance their studies with other commitments. No letters of recommendation or GRE scores are needed to enroll in this master\u2019s-level micro-credentialing program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can Apply Toward a Degree<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Each nonprofit microcredential carries is a valuable investment, carrying nine college credit hours that can be used toward a master\u2019s degree in nonprofit management or a 15-credit certificate in the discipline. These microcredentials are designed to enhance your skills and knowledge in specific areas of nonprofit management, making you a more competitive candidate in the job market. Students can structure their coursework to complete a microcredential badge along with their master\u2019s degree or certificate, maximizing the value of their educational experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
