Do you thrive in a mission-driven, service-centered, nonprofit environment? Are you searching for a way to upgrade your skills with additional education? Are you considering a career change into the nonprofit sector?

Johnson Bible College offers you an educational opportunity to boost your confidence and increase your effectiveness through a Management of Nonprofit Organizations program.

In response to the fact that a large number of our graduates lead organizations in the nonprofit sector and the great interest revealed in our surveys of students, alumni, faculty, and staff, we will start a new program in nonprofit management in the fall 2009 semester.  The program will prepare graduates for leadership in mission organizations, parachurch organizations, other nonprofits. 

The curriculum for this double major will include Strategic Planning and Board Development, Principles of Organizational Behavior, Introduction to Economics, Finance, Human Resource Management, Marketing and Public Relations, and Ethics and Business Law.  The program will be offered in a nontraditional format.  Resident students will take the Bible and general education core in the regular day program and the non-profit courses in cohorts that meet once a week for seven weeks per course.  Students who hold bachelor’s degrees or who qualify for our degree completion program may complete the program in the evening.
