Johns Hopkins' online Master of Arts in Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) Management provides students with the leadership, management, and organizational skills needed to succeed in the nonprofit sector, both domestically or abroad. The MA in NGO Management is made up of ten asynchronous online courses (7 core courses and 3 electives). Courses focus on nonprofit leadership, grant writing, strategic planning, project management, monitoring and evaluation, resource development, social enterprise, and international mission-based work. Students complete their studies with the Capstone Seminar where they may select one of the following options a) research project/deeper dive on a relevant aspect of non-governmental/nonprofit management; b) a project that will contribute to the social sector in some capacity; or c) a remote immersive experience working with a nonprofit/non-governmental organization. With the MA in NGO Management students and alumni may work for nonprofits, non-governmental and international agencies, foundations, think tanks, educational institutions, museums, environmental organizations, human rights and animal rights organizations, or religious institutions, among others.
