Application information

Entry requirements

The admission process is “rolling” and students may begin classes at the start of the Fall, Spring, or Summer semester after they are accepted, provided courses are available. Current NC State Graduate Students only need to fill out the “Graduate Certificate in Nonprofit Management Application” form and submit it to the Certificate Program Coordinator to apply to add the certificate program. Certificate-Only Students (non-degree or non-NC State graduate students) will fill out an application through the Graduate School. Applicants must have a bachelor’s degree with at least a 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) in the last two years (last 60 credits) of undergraduate study and will submit transcripts as part of their application.

Tuition is charged per credit, so the total depends on the modules you register for each year. Current fees are listed in the official fee schedule.
