Center for Nonprofit and NGO Studies

The Center for Nonprofit and NGO Studies is an interdisciplinary, faculty-governed center that engages in a range of activities that support leadership and development of domestic nonprofit organizations and international non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Faculty from throughout the university participate in its activities. The center engages with the nonprofit and NGO sector through academic and outreach activities.

The Center for Nonprofit and NGO Studies offers both a B.A. and a B.S. degree for an interdisciplinary major, minor, and certificate in nonprofit and NGO studies (NNGO) that is designed primarily for students seeking a career in nonprofit or nongovernmental organizations. Each student must complete the required courses of the major along with 15 semester hours in interdisciplinary electives related to the worlds in which nonprofits and NGOs operate, chosen with an advisor.
