Louisiana State University in Shreveport offers a Certificate in Nonprofit Administration for currently employed nonprofit professionals and other persons who wish to enhance basic administrative skills. This program is a direct response to rapid expansion of the human service field which began in the last decade and is only expected to accelerate. In part, this expansion is fueled by the movement toward devolution, which is the transference of social programs from the federal to state and local levels. Another important factor impacting the need for more nonprofit education opportunities is the realization that nonprofits account for ten percent of the gross national product and employ more persons than the construction trades. The sheer momentum generated by the sector is enormous. |
