Abstract

In response to the knowledge needs of those administering programs in the third sector, there has been a well-documented expansion of nonprofit, non-governmental and philanthropy education programs in universities and colleges globally (Wish and Mirabella, 1998a, 1998b; Mirabella and Wish, 2000; Mirabella, 2007; Mirabella, Gemelli, Malcolm and Berger, 2007). This chapter presents the most recent data available on these education programs, compiled through an electronic database accessible through the internet, and will report on census trends, provide a comparative perspective, and conclude with critical observations on the nascent field as it is developing.
