MA in Nonprofit Management

Program Overview

As a Master of Arts in Nonprofit Management student at Antioch University, you’ll develop a distinctive way of looking at leadership in service to the greater good, incorporating theory and practice in a practical way you won’t find in most similar programs. While many nonprofit management programs focus almost exclusively on the minutia of administration without asking the bigger questions, at Antioch you’ll develop both the day-to-day administrative skills and the big-picture thinking you’ll need to advance organizational mission in innovative ways while becoming increasingly clear about your own values and those of the organizations you serve.

You’ll be among a diverse group of students—from those just starting out in the nonprofit world to people who already have leadership positions in agencies and institutions—who work closely together as an adult learning community, in small classes, to learn more collaboratively, think more deeply, and perform more effectively, together.
