Nonprofit Management and Leadership

Schulich offers Canada’s only MBA in nonprofit management that leads to careers in a rich variety of nonprofit organizations including healthcare, human services, education, culture, recreation, religion, the environment or community development. In Canada, almost one in five paid jobs is in a nonprofit organization – more than in manufacturing or retail, and almost three times as many as in the financial services industry.

While working to improve the quality of life in Canada and around the world, Schulich graduates entering this sector will be able to build strong careers in general management, marketing, fundraising, human resources, or financial management. In addition, many Schulich students planning to build their careers in profit-seeking organizations take electives in nonprofit management in order to prepare themselves for positions as board members of important charitable organizations operating in their communities or work in the area of corporate social responsibility. For more information, go to the Nonprofit Management and Leadership Program's webpage.
