The Future of Nonprofit Management Education

Michael O'Neill

University of San Francisco

Nonprofit management education has grown rapidly in the United States during the past two decades. The author makes six predictions about the future: (a) The field will remain; it is here to stay. (b) There will not be master's of business administration—like standardization of degrees; master's of public administration—based degrees will remain the most popular option, but several other models will continue. (c) There will be increasing attention to the undergraduate and doctoral levels. (d) Major foundation funding will be replaced by other external funding and tuition. (e) Nonprofit sector growth in recent decades will provide an adequate basis for the continued growth of nonprofit management education, although at a lower rate. (f) The main challenge will be the "danger of success," the tendency of institutionalized professional education programs to become unresponsive to changes in the professions.

Key Words: nonprofit management • nonprofit management education • professional education • future of nonprofit sector
