The needs of our communities and our democracy will always evolve. Our world needs professionals that are prepared to understand and respond to these changing needs while navigating dynamic public and nonprofit organizations.

In the classroom, you will be challenged to think broadly and deeply about the issues facing today’s community and work together to present solutions.

• Network: We will connect you to industry experts, faculty, alumni and students – across the state and the country – that have a similar interest in making the world a better place. We’ll show you how to maintain these relationships, so they serve you throughout your career.
• Experience: We will provide you with opportunities in and outside of the classroom to use your new skills and build an impressive resume.
