MS Nonprofit Management & Public Policy — one admission, a shared core, two named specialisations.
Online or on campus
A double-path master's for people who lead mission-driven organizations and engage with government. Shared core in management and policy analysis, then pathways in Nonprofit Management (fundraising, governance, programs) and Public Policy (analysis, budgeting, advocacy), with a capstone connecting a program to a policy environment. Mltio University runs this award on its two honest pathways — online from anywhere, or on campus in Minneapolis — to a single academic standard, with identity-checked assessment on both. This is an academic Master's award; where a field has a licensing or registration route, that remains a matter for your professional body or regulator. You will work through the material as a practitioner-researcher: applied methods, real or anonymised cases, and a supervised capstone or dissertation as the final component. Faculty mark whether you noticed the constraints a slide deck usually hides.
The programme carries 42 credits across four assessed modules. Delivery is tuition-free ($0) on the online pathway. Transcripts use letter grades and a GPA scale consistent with Mltio University awards. No professional-body logo is used in marketing to imply endorsement.
Study online
Every program can be completed fully online with zero tuition fees — study from anywhere in the world.
