Overview
Canada’s first Master of Philanthropy and Nonprofit Leadership degree (MPNL) prepares graduates to be innovators and leaders in nonprofits, social enterprises, philanthropic foundations, development offices, and in the governments, financial institutions and businesses that interact with them. It is designed for both full-time students who aspire to be change-makers in this field as well as for experienced professionals studying part-time for professional development. The program begins in July with an intensive summer institute and may be taken at a distance in a hybrid format or on campus. We also offer a shorter graduate diploma geared at working professionals and a professional entry master’s with reduced program requirements for those who qualify.
