Review the options for Nonprofit Studies at the University of Richmond School of Professional & Continuing Studies
Going back to school at this point in life has been scary and challenging. I had no idea how to do research or write an APA paper, no frame of reference to participate in some of the class discussions, and was the most “senior” person in the class, including the instructors. My friends (and husband) thought I was crazy.
At this point in my educational journey, my thinking has completely changed. I have learned more than I thought possible about nonprofit organizations and how they operate, met many new people, and discovered new aspects of Richmond. I am not sure where this is going to lead, but it has been a very empowering experience for me.
