Nonprofit Administration Department
Julie Turner, PhD, Chair
Program Description
The nonprofit administration (NPA) program at Lindenwood University is designed to prepare students for leadership positions in youth, social, and community nonprofit organizations. The baccalaureate program is intended to serve a broad spectrum of career paths. Therefore, the major core combines a focus on nonprofit organizations with selected emphases in a number of different practice settings. Students seeking the major in nonprofit administration will complete 40 credit hours of directed studies in nonprofit leadership and management.
Early Access to the MA Program in Nonprofit Administration
With approval from the dean of the Plaster School of Business & Entrepreneurship and the provost, students may take up to nine semester hours at the graduate level during their senior year. These hours will count toward the MA in Nonprofit Administration but not toward the bachelor’s degree. A student must be enrolled in at least 12 credit hours of undergraduate classes each semester that he or she is taking MA credits under this option.
