Programs in Sustainable Development Practice and Nonprofit Management

Achieving a just and sustainable world requires holistic policies and a deep understanding of the lived realities of diverse communities. Regis University’s programs in Sustainable Development Practice and Nonprofit Management offer an integrated, collaborative education designed to prepare students to navigate the complex social, economic and cultural challenges facing today’s communities. Whether your goal is to work in global development or lead a nonprofit organization, our programs equip you to create meaningful and lasting change.

Our approach in the Development Practice and Master of Nonprofit Management programs emphasizes collaboration across disciplines, helping students work effectively with a range of stakeholders. You will gain the skills to design and implement holistic solutions that go beyond the limits of a single discipline. With a focus on social justice, you’ll navigate global challenges through an interdisciplinary lens, preparing you to address issues from climate change to health, finance and governance.

Regis’ MNM program, one of the first in the country, reflects the university’s Jesuit heritage, offering a values-based, transformative education. Nonprofit work is not just about a career, but about making a difference. Through our unique Service-Oriented Field Experience (SOFE), MNM students gain hands-on experience working with nonprofit organizations, gaining insights into their real-world operations.

In both the Development Practice and MNM programs, students benefit from a small, supportive learning environment where class sizes are capped, ensuring close interaction with faculty and peers. Regis’ integrated curriculum and global perspective empower graduates to pursue lifelong learning and critically reflect on their contributions to a more just and equitable world.
