Two open elective courses offer M.N.O. students the opportunity to gain depth in a particular technical competency or in a given professional discipline such as the fine and performing arts or social work. Approved courses may be selected from this bulletin. All prerequisites must be met.
Two five-day intensive sessions are required of M.N.O. students. The initial intensive week takes place in late August prior to the first (fall) semester of M.N.O. study. Week I includes an orientation session, various skills workshops, and MAND 405. Intensive Week II takes place in early January prior to the second (spring) semester of M.N.O. study. It consists of MAND 425 and additional skills workshops (if necessary).
The curriculum includes three practica. They stress experiential learning and teamwork under the supervision of faculty and in cooperation with participating nonprofit organizations in a variety of fields. This approach is designed to produce useful results for the participating organization as well as critical knowledge and experience for the student.
Students have the option of declaring a concentration in a professional discipline such as social services, one of the fine and performing arts, or a technical field. A concentration involves choosing electives from those offered by the CWRU school or department in the given field.
In addition to selecting appropriate elective courses, concentrations require that the three practicum projects be undertaken with organizations in the appropriate field or with an appropriate technical orientation. The development of concentrations may be pursued with a variety of schools and/or academic departments at the University.
Computer workshops arranged for intensive weeks in Fall and Spring Semesters include: General Introduction and Word Processing; Electronic Spreadsheets and Data Bases.
Computer competency is an integral part of the M.N.O. program, and several curricular areas address the critical need for managers to be facile with computers. Courses in quantitative methods, accounting, financial management, marketing, and management of information systems and operations may require computer use; students learn particular computer programs focusing on statistical analysis and data base management. The intent of the computer workshops is to introduce each student to word processing, electronic spreadsheets, and data base management with personal computers.
