About the Nonprofit Management Academy
The Nonprofit Management Academy was established in 1999 by Iowa State University in partnership with the United Way Management Assistance Program to enhance the management skills of those serving nonprofit human services groups, hospitals, government agencies, churches, private schools, arts organizations, environmental groups, and others in the nonprofit sector.
Distinguished representatives of the nonprofit sector have served as advisers in the process of developing this program. Outstanding practitioners and academicians have been selected as faculty.
Fee
The registration fee is $50 per class. Preregistration for 10 courses as a package is $400 ($500 with CEUs), or $450 for all 11 courses ($560 with CEUs). To receive CEUs for any class, please add an additional $10 per class.
About the Certificate Program
To receive a Certificate in Nonprofit Management, program participants must complete any combination of nine classes, totaling six continuing education units (CEUs). CEUs are noncredit units awarded at a rate of one CEU for every 10 hours of classroom time. ISU Continuing Education will keep a record of all CEUs earned. Participants who sign up for CEUs but do not complete their certification may carry over any CEUs earned to the next Nonprofit Management Academy.
Who Should Attend
The Academy welcomes anyone seeking professional development in the area of nonprofit management, including staff, management, volunteers, professional association employees, educators, and private sector employees who wish to make a career change to the nonprofit sector. Those who are interested in succession planning, building the skills of new managers, or enhancing leadership within the organization are strongly encouraged to participate.
