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.
