In the United States, the primary focus of coursework in Business graduate programs is the for-profit sector. Nonprofit management is a relatively new field of graduate professional education. Although still a small field compared with business management or public administration, nonprofit management programs have grown rapidly. Liberty University recognizes that many of its Business graduates may seek a vocation in areas other than the for-profit sector. Thus, the rationale for this course is to provide graduate students with the essential skills necessary to lead, manage, and operate nonprofit organizations.
