The Certificate of Achievement (COA) in Nonprofit Management is designed for students seeking either (1) an entry level position in the nonprofit sector, or (2) an added nonprofit education credential to an existing degree or skills-set. This COA provides a solid core of specific not-for-profit coursework. The COA is designed whereby all courses can seamless move to the College’s AS degree program.
