Strategic Management & Organization
Curtis L. Carlson School of Management

• Required credits to graduate with this degree: 120.
• Required credits within the major: 73.
• Degree: Bachelor of Science in Business.

The nonprofit sector is one of the most important components of American life, yet one of its most misunderstood. Nonprofit organizations vary enormously in scope and scale, ranging from grassroots charitable groups to multimillion dollar foundations, university, and health care organizations. There is little doubt that every American is directly or indirectly touched by the services of nonprofits in their daily life.

The nonprofit major blends general management-focused courses from the Carlson School with nonprofit-focused courses from the Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs. All students complete an additional major within Carlson; therefore, every student is able to apply their functional specialty of business to the intricacies of the nonprofit sector.

Admission Requirements

  Freshmen and transfer students are usually admitted to pre-major status before admission to this major.

A GPA above 2.00 is preferred for the following:
   3.0 for students transferring from another University of Minnesota college.
   3.0 for students transferring from outside the University.

Students in the school have no restrictions on declaring the major but must complete the tool courses before starting the major coursework. Students from outside the school must meet overall admission standards to enter this major, including completion of the tool courses. Students entering as sophomores should complete microeconomics, macroeconomics, and calculus. Students who enter as juniors should complete microeconomics, macroeconomics, calculus, statistics, and accounting prior to transfer.
