(19-22 credits)
The Nonprofit Leadership Alliance (NLA) Certificate Program is an externally administered , innovative course of study that leads to the Certified Nonprofit Professional (CNP) credential by preparing students for disciplinary-based careers in all nonprofit subsectors: faith-based; youth, human, and social services; environmental and conservation; animal-rights; fine, performing, and studio arts, humanities, and cultural; educational and historical; health and medical-related; and international non-governmental organizations. Completion of this certificate program may also satisfy the University Honors Program - Leadership and Civic Engagement Concentration.
To attain the NLA-CNP, students must complete nonprofit education work on the 10 nonprofit leadership competencies in 4 areas: 1) complete coursework; 2) participate in AMI National Conference; 3) demonstrate leadership and followership in the Nonprofit Leadership Students Association; and 4) complete a nonprofit sector internship. Students must complete a Bachelor’s degree at Indiana State University before the CNP can be awarded, as well as must complete the certification procedures through the national NLA online profile system. All students joining the NLA program must pay a $25.00 one-time joining fee to the national Nonprofit Leadership Alliance office, as well as a one-time $100.00 certification processing fee upon completion of the program. The requirement to attend the national NLA Alliance Management/Leadership Institute (AMI national conference) also typically costs approximately $500 to $1000 for registration, transportation, housing, meals, etc. per student.
