Wesleyan College’s nonprofit management program is 100% online. Students can complete the program in 14 months while maintaining their current schedule and lifestyle. Wesleyan College is on a five-term academic schedule with students taking two classes each term. Wesleyan’s goal is to provide a quality, academically rigorous education while reducing barriers to higher education. Our online experience is more than just videos and quizzes. Students can meet one-on-one with their professors, ask questions, and network with their peers from the comfort of home. Our students come from diverse backgrounds, and our small class sizes encourage forming relationships that can last beyond graduation

Program Highlights

• Students are exposed to different perspectives in the six shared business core classes and are encouraged to network with their peers in business and other specializations like finance or marketing.
• Wesleyan’s class sizes are small, meaning each student gets individualized instruction and opportunities to meet with their professors one-on-one.
• GMAT or GRE scores are not required for most applicants. Our admission process is simple and accessible to reduce barriers to access higher education.
• All required textbooks are included in the cost of tuition.
• Upon program completion, students are prepared to become Green Belt Certified in Lean Six Sigma, a data-driven methodology rooted in statistics, waste reduction, and engineering principles that seek to improve work processes. Lean Green and Six Sigma Green training are included in the M.S. in Nonprofit Management program curriculum, which can give our community of students a competitive advantage in their careers.
