MANDEL CENTER OVERVIEW
The Mandel Center supports the mission of nonprofits through
a blend of services and programs that nurture the development and
prosperity of nonprofit organizations and their leadership.

Graduate Education

to address a range of issues confronting nonprofits today. The Mandel
Center offers a graduate degree or certificate in nonprofit management,
one of the only programs in the world that offers this specialized degree.
We also offer an Executive Option master's for established professionals

Social Science, the Weatherhead School of Management, and the School
of Law.

Professional Development
programs provide nonprofit practitioners and Mandel
Center alumni, as well as their organizations, with high
quality learning opportunities and resources. These
include three well-established and widely-respected
programs:
- Leaders’ Links, a peer learning program
for Executive Directors/CEOs;
- Treu-Mart Youth Development Fellowship, which
provides support and training based on resiliency
concepts for nonprofit professionals who work with
youth during non-school hours;
- Youth Philanthropy and Service (YPS), which
promotes leadership and personal involvement by
youth in the giving of time, treasure, and talent to
their community.
In addition, the Professional Development program offers
faculty-led seminars and conversations on pressing nonprofit
issues and as well as special-focus lectures. A distance
learning pilot program is planned for Fall 2008. Mandel
Center’s Professional Development Programs encourage
collaboration and communication between and among nonprofit
leaders and their organizations.

nonprofit management. This research is published in leading academic journals
including the peer-reviewed journal,
