Whether you're looking to further your business skills through the certificate track or interested in taking your education to the next level with an MBA, The University of Tampa has the right option for you.
Certificate Track
In the certificate track, students complete four courses and earn graduate-level credit. Upon completion, students receive a certificate in nonprofit management. Applicants are required to have a four-year undergraduate degree.
