Mendoza College of Business
Master of Nonprofit Administration
Program
Director:
Thomas J. Harvey, MSW
In
1952–53, in an effort to meet the needs for trained administrators of
religious
communities, the College
of Commerce at
Notre Dame
offered a series of three-day institutes on “Practical Business
Problems of
Religious Life.” The popularity of these sessions, and the call for
more and
broader topics, resulted in the idea for a graduate program. Following
a
self-review in 1999–2000, the MNA has a new focus, structure, and
curriculum.
The MNA is designed to provide professional training in administration
and
leadership for managers in nonprofit social services, arts, or
religious
organizations. The program is structured to develop leadership
proficiencies in
areas including marketing, human resource management, finance,
development,
accounting, law, communication, board management, and strategic
planning.
The
Mission Statement of the College
of Business
Our
quest is to advance knowledge through distinguished scholarship and
research
balanced with inspirational teaching and spirited service. We avow
ethical
behavior as a hallmark pursuit and live our longstanding commitment to
global
concern. Enriched by Notre Dame’s heritage, timeless values and
collegial
climate, we aspire to worldwide leadership within the academic and
business
communities.
The
Mission Statement of the Master of
Nonprofit
Administration Program
Rooted
in the Notre Dame tradition of academic excellence, the Mendoza College
of
Business MNA degree’s mission is to develop exemplary leaders serving
in
