Track Description

The Out-of-State Cohort in the Graduate Certificate in Nonprofit Management is designed specifically for students who are not Florida residents and who reside outside of the state of Florida. The certificate is delivered completely online and offers specialized, graduate-level knowledge in nonprofit management, resource development, strategic planning, volunteerism, and program evaluation. The certificate supports those currently working in the nonprofit sector or those looking for advancement in the nonprofit sector or in organizations that partner with the nonprofit sector. Students in the Out-of-State Cohort pay less than half of the regular out-of-state tuition. Students who are Florida residents who reside in the state of Florida should refer to the Nonprofit Management Certificate program.

Please note: Nonprofit Management Graduate Certificate may be completed fully online, although not all elective options or program prerequisites may be offered online. Newly admitted students choosing to complete this program exclusively via UCF online classes may enroll with a reduction in campus-based fees.

International students (F or J visa) are required to enroll in a full-time course load of 9 credit hours during the fall and spring semesters. Only 3 of the 9 credit hours may be taken in a completely online format. For a detailed listing of enrollment requirements for international students, please visit http://global.ucf.edu/.
