Certificate in Non-Profit and Community Management

Units required for Certificate: 12

Program Description

Non-profit and tax-supported agencies are increasingly under pressure to secure their own funding and provide evidence of the impact of their programs. The certificate program in Non-Profit and Community Management provides students with solid skills to lead agencies in the public sector with course work in grant writing, fundraising, volunteer management and several other aspects of management for non-profit agencies.  Non-RTPA majors can declare the Minor in Non-Profit and Community Management.

Completion of any of the program entitles a student to receive a certificate for that program in addition to the Bachelor of Arts diploma.  Certificates are officially recognized by the university and will appear on a student's transcript and may be listed on a student's résumé.  Students must be declared Sport and Recreation Management majors in order to enroll in the certificate programs.  If a student fails to complete the major or minor, the certificate will not be awarded. All units must be taken in Kinesiology. 

Bachelor of Arts students: In addition to completing the requirements for the Bachelor of Arts degree in Sport and Recreation Management, students may also complete one or more of the certificate programs.  Units in the certificates may overlap with required and elective courses in the major.

Minor students: With advisor approval, students in the Minor Programs may take courses in the certificate programs to partially fulfill the requirements of the minor (please read all of the minor requirements above).  Students must complete all of the requirements for the minor to receive the certificate. Students with a Minor in Non-Profit and Community Management cannot also receive a Certificate in Non-Profit and Community Management.

Minimum Grade Requirement

A grade of "C-" or better is required in all courses applied to the certificate.
