Pacific’s master of nonprofit leadership (MNL) is a 100% online program that can be earned in 12 months (full time) or up to 5 years (part time). Students will earn 30 semester credits to complete the degree.
Although all courses are online, they will use a combination of live, interactive sessions and independent study to deliver a robust learning experience. One virtual term in January provides an opportunity to engage with nonprofit professionals.
Throughout the program, students complete a culminating Project in Action, applying their learning directly to a real-world challenge in the nonprofit sector.
The program is organized around four stackable graduate certificates, allowing you to earn recognized credentials throughout your studies.
