Public and Non-Profit Management Concentration
Students interested in this concentration aim to work in the public sector for a nonprofit organization. Students develop managerial skills and are introduced to analytical tools necessary in organizational decision-making. Coursework covers the basics of non-profit management, from budgeting and human-resource management, to strategy and organizational behavior.
In addition to the nine foundation courses, CIPA fellows who select the Public and Non-Profit Management concentration take a minimum of five courses related to their specific area of focus. The course list below, organized thematically to facilitate course selection, is designed to help fellows develop a particular area of study, but should not limit choices. CIPA fellows may elect to substitute other relevant courses, by petition, with the approval of their advisor.
