Description

proposal to establish an interdisciplinary nonprofit administration course at Lindenwood University. This civic engagement project supporting a new course at Lindenwood is based on original research. The original research was qualitative, based on interviews with key stakeholders involved in the development of a new course. Interviews were conducted with three categories of interviewees: nonprofit leaders, faculty, and students. After analyzing the interviews in each category and as a whole, common themes were identified that suggest interest in, benefits of, and the need for nonprofit education. From the conclusion of this original research, a proposal was formed to create an interdisciplinary nonprofit administration course for Lindenwood students. Any student, from any major, would be able to take this nonprofit administration course to discover and develop their understanding and education of nonprofit organizations and how it can relate to their future industry. A nonprofit administration course would reflect Lindenwood’s mission, “Real Experience. Real Success.” through collaboration with nonprofit organizations, allowing students to have hands-on experience and engage in service-oriented learning with nonprofit organizations relating to their field.
