The nonprofit sector plays a vital yet often overlooked role in American society. These organizations span a vast spectrum, from small community charities to large-scale foundations, educational institutions, and healthcare systems. Nearly every American benefits from nonprofit services, whether directly or indirectly. The nonprofit studies program combines core business courses from the Carlson School with specialized nonprofit curriculum from the Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs. Students pair this major with another Carlson School specialization, allowing them to apply their business expertise to the unique challenges of the nonprofit world.
