Nonprofit Studies Graduate Study

In our Richmond campus-based Nonprofit Studies graduate program, we offer a master’s degree and a graduate certificate. The Graduate Certificate in Nonprofit Studies can be applied toward completing the master’s degree, and it can also be taken as a post-master’s graduate credential.

Acceptance to the graduate program requires an earned bachelor’s degree and letters of reference, but we require no standardized test scores for admission.
