Nonprofit Management:
Certificate

The College of Extended Learning's Nonprofit Management Program does a great job introducing the elements of a nonprofit. The professors are very knowledgeable and have hands-on field experience that is extremely relevant. The program is also a great networking tool and provides exposure to many nonprofits and foundations in the Bay Area.
