The Mandel Center offers a Master of Nonprofit Organizations (MNO) degree, a Certificate in Nonprofit Management (CNM), and a number of dual degree and dual certificate options. Classes are offered in the evening and on weekends. Students have the opportunity within and outside of the classroom to work on projects with Cleveland’s rich nonprofit community.

The Mandel Center recognizes those who have served the community through the AmeriCorps program in the following ways:

• The Center will waive the $25 application fee for AmeriCorps alumni who apply for the MNO program on a full-time basis, and
• For an AmeriCorps alumnus admitted to the full-time MNO in the fall, spring, or summer semester, the Mandel Center will provide matching funds in an amount up to twice the AmeriCorps educational award funds requested by the admitted student for the particular semester. This amount, however, cannot exceed thirty-five percent (35%) of the applicable tuition rate in any given semester.
