Abstract

From the mid-1990s to the present, there has been a tremendous increase in the number of colleges and universities in the United States involved in the education of nonprofit managers. Currently, 240 universities and colleges across the United States provide courses in nonprofit management education. This article reports on this growth through a compilation of the most recent data available from an electronic database accessible from the World Wide Web. The author maps the growth of the field during the past 10 years by type of program: graduate (including PhD), undergraduate, continuing education, and noncredit. Based on an analysis of developments and changes during the past 10 years, the author looks toward the future of nonprofit management education and philanthropy programs in the United States.
