Program Overview

NBCC’s Non-Profit Leadership graduate certificate program is where your passion for making a difference meets flexible, part-time learning. In this program you’re empowered to lead with purpose and create lasting impact in the non-profit sector. The curriculum is designed to fit your busy schedule, offering you the flexibility to pursue your education while managing your commitments.
 
Each term, you'll enroll into 2-3 online courses with scheduled evening classes to ensure that your learning experience remains interactive and connected. You can expect to spend 10-15 hours a week engaging and collaborating with like-minded peers and faculty, working on projects and assignments, and immersing yourself in independent study.  Beyond the scheduled evening classes, you have the freedom to tailor your schoolwork to your own routine, all while staying on track with assigned deadlines.
 
From implementing strategies for innovation and sustainable growth to fostering positive relationships with stakeholders, policymakers, and community partners, our program equips you with the skills that non-profits crave in their leaders. Join a community driven by purpose and seize the opportunity to make your mark in the non-profit sector.
