The Certificate in Not-for-Profit Management is designed for the student wishing to enter or advance in a career in not-for-profit management.

Professor Darlene Rodriguez, Director

The Certificate in Not-for-Profit Management is designed for the student wishing to enter or advance in a career in not-for-profit management. It is open both to those who have an undergraduate degree and to those who choose not to seek one. Salem’s Certificate in Not-for-Profit Management is rigorous, consisting of the core management courses required for Salem’s B.A. in Not-for-Profit Management. Salem’s not-for-profit management courses emphasize practical application of concepts learned. As a result, participants develop valuable contacts with the region’s not-for-profit community.

Requirements (5 courses)

Not-for-Profit Management Core Courses:

  • NFPM 100. The Not-for-Profit Corporation

  • NFPM 250. Not-for-Profit Fundraising

  • NFPM 301. Organizational Planning & Evaluation

  • NFPM 310. Not-for-Profit Management and Governance

 Plus one of the following:

  • NFPM 170. Financial Management for Not-for-Profit Organizations

  • or COMM 322. Campaign Communication

No course substitutions are permitted.  A student must obtain a minimum GPA of 2.00 in the certificate program in order to receive the certificate.  Degree-seeking students should pursue the minor in not-for-profit management, not the certificate.
