On-Line Listing Eases Search for Management Courses

July 29, 1999 | Read Time: 1 minute

A new Web site is making it easier to find courses and degree programs in non-profit management.

The new site profiles more than 180 colleges and universities that offer instruction in non-profit management and fund raising, and provides contact information and course titles for each institution.

Separate lists break out the institutions by state, region, and type of course — non-credit, continuing-education, undergraduate, or graduate. There is also a bibliography on non-profit-management education and a list of which graduate programs confer which type of degree, such as master of business administration or master of public administration.

The site’s creators, Seton Hall University professors Roseanne M. Mirabella and Naomi B. Wish, compiled the information as part of research they have been conducting since 1995. Their work is financed by the W. K. Kellogg Foundation, in Battle Creek, Mich.
