Delta State University is now helping to fulfill that need with a new Nonprofit Management concentration and certificate program.<\/p>\n

Beginning the Fall 2022 semester, a Nonprofit Management concentration will become available through the Delta State College of Business and Aviation\u2019s Integrated Master of Business Administration online program. In addition, non-degree-seeking individuals can earn a certification in Nonprofit Management by completing six credit hours in Nonprofit Management online courses.<\/p>\n

The new concentration and certificate program were developed following a series of meetings with Delta State faculty and local leaders to identify needs within the local community. The concentration\/certification will serve as an additional opportunity for Delta State students and community members, particularly those located within the Mississippi Delta region.<\/p>\n

“Unfortunately, many nonprofit organizations lack knowledge of how to properly operate a non-profit business,\u201d said Dr. Deborah Moore, an adjunct Professor of Management in the College of Business & Aviation. \u201cThey often do not have the capacity to fulfill their missions without this knowledge.”<\/p>\n

According to Moore, the nonprofit sector shows promising career growth and opportunities.<\/p>\n

Mississippi currently has 12,080 nonprofit organizations, representing 6.4% of the state\u2019s workforce and generating more than $9.8 billion in annual revenue.<\/p>\n

Nationally, nonprofits have the third largest payroll in the nation, with job growth in nonprofits outpacing for-profit industries.<\/p>\n

For those pursuing the iMBA at Delta State, the new concentration will enhance their business foundation providing knowledge and best practices for the nonprofit sector.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are really excited to offer a Graduate Certificate through the College of Business and Aviation. Students who aren’t enrolled in our iMBA program can obtain a certificate by taking the six Nonprofit Management courses that we will be offering\u201d said Dr. Lisa Cooley, graduate coordinator for the iMBA and MBA programs.<\/p>\n

\u201cDelta State offers one of the most affordable MBAs in the marketplace. Additionally, we do not charge out-of-state tuition, and international students pay the same tuition rate that a Mississippi resident pays for full-time study.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a year-long, fully online program, the iMBA was developed for business professionals, managers and entrepreneurs seeking to expand their interpersonal, managerial and leadership skills in preparation for mobility, advancement and promotional opportunities.<\/p>\n

DSU\u2019s iMBA program has been recognized as a top MBA program nationally by both U.S. News & World Reports and Fortune. Click HERE<\/a> to apply now.<\/p>\n
