About the Graduate Certificate in Nonprofit Management
The 2022-2023 graduate Certificate in Nonprofit Management at the University of Tampa will begin in May 2022 and last about 15 months. Courses are delivered as four one-week seminars, representing 12 credit hours of graduate-level instruction. Program participants will develop skills in strategic thinking, leadership, marketing, development and accounting. The required in-person sessions include:

Students will focus on evaluating mission, analyzing board governance and conducting an environmental scan. They will also identify the focus area for their program-long project and business plan.
- Marketing, Research & Communication
During this session, students will learn how to conduct market research, explore fund development and develop a marketing plan for their chosen project.
- Accounting & Financial Management
Students will learn the fundamentals of accounting, financial performance, analyzing costs and internal controls. They will also develop a budget for their program-long project.
- Leadership and Innovation
In the final session of the program, students will evaluate their personal leadership and develop an implementation plan.
- Final Presentations
The program culminates with students presenting their business plan to a group of nonprofit and community leaders for evaluation as the final step to receiving their certificate.
