University of Montana Offers Online Classes for Nonprofit Administrators

University of Montana Continuing Education and the Office for Civic Engagement have teamed up to sponsor an online five-course program in nonprofit administration in 2007-08.

The courses are directed toward nonprofit professionals and interested students. Titles include Strategic Planning, Grantwriting, Building an Effective Nonprofit Board, Fundraising and Financial Management.

Each course is six weeks long and will be conducted entirely online. Students who complete all five courses receive a Certificate of Completion in Nonprofit Administration.

The fee for each course is $100 for members of the Montana Nonprofit Association and $125 for nonmembers. There is a 10 percent discount for students who register at the same time for all five courses. Students who wish to receive one UM undergraduate or graduate credit will be charged an additional $135 fee for each course.
