Nonprofit Administration Combined, BA and MA Program

Effective fall 2014, full-time undergraduate Lindenwood University students can earn a combined BA/MA Nonprofit Administration (NPA) degree within five years. The combined degree program allows a student with a minimum of a 3.0 GPA to begin taking graduate-level NPA classes as early as the student's junior year at the undergraduate tuition rate. The program is rigorous in format and in hours taken and, therefore, requires organizing a four year-plan of study that will require a high level of coordination between the student and the NPA academic advisor. In addition to appropriate coursework, the program will incorporate an intensive six-hour internship (two consecutive semesters of 150 hours of placement, for a total of 300 hours) in addition to the prescribed coursework. Interested students should contact Dr. Julie Turner, department chair for NPA, during their freshman or sophomore year (at the latest) to apply.
