History
A one-week trial course in non-profit management was offered in
July 2003. Designed for 12-15 participants and led by an American
business consultant, this course gave us an opportunity to publicize
the certificate program, assess our audience, and test our program
assumptions.
The one-year pilot program for the Certificate in Non-Profit Management
was offered from September 2003 to June 2004. Designed for 20-25
participants, this program provided each student well-rounded coverage
of important areas and topics within the limits of an evening and
weekend schedule.
