Class Description:
This course is designed to equip current and future nonprofit and public managers with the practical financial management tools and analytical techniques they need to be successful in their careers. Course work is very applications oriented, with case studies and real-world exercises used to provide managers with basic concepts and collaborative methods for team project and budget planning, program analysis, interpreting financial reports, identifying and resolving organizational performance issues. A technology-facilitated, flexible "flipped classroom" learning model provides students with the hands-on participatory tools they need to compete in the new economy. Students complete convenient online tutorials at their convenience, and there are no classroom lectures. Class time is dedicated to direct interaction with the instructor as students apply those lessons by solving practical case studies in a small team setting.

Notes from former students: "I understand the material better in this class than in any other class that I have taken at the U. The flipped version is more effective at making me understand the material than the traditional lecture method. The fact that the professors are close by when doing the assignments is very helpful . . . This weekend I received the Annual Report for a non-profit I've been working with for the past few years. I'm proud to say I was actually able to look at the financial statements, and gain a significant amount of knowledge about the organization. I appreciate that I am actually transferring the information I learned to my daily life . . . This was truly one of my most enjoyable classes this year! . . . I took your non-profit budgeting class, and it convinced me to look into the non-profit sector for career options . . . I was working on a grant recently, and pulled out some of my budgets from class to help me format them properly. I just wanted to say thanks for teaching me very helpful budgeting tips that I've already put to good use at work!"
