Minor in Philanthropy
About This Program
The Minor in Philanthropy enhances students' understanding of the nonprofit sector and equips them with skills in fundraising strategies and nonprofit management. These skills can be applied to numerous nonprofit classifications such as charitable organizations, theater companies, and other organizations dependent on public support. Students selecting the Philanthropy minor should consult first with the undergraduate advisor in their department or program for approval of the minor and then with an undergraduate advisor in the Department of Communication. Working with advisors, students will select a sequence of courses to fulfill the requirements of the minor.
