It is the mission of the Department of Public and Nonprofit Administration to meet the diverse needs of the community, state and region for outstanding researchers and practitioners in public and nonprofit management. The department offers an array of graduate programs and on-going professional development that provides individuals with the knowledge and skill to be effective practitioners. The Department of Public and Nonprofit Administration is associated with the Helen Bader Institute for Nonprofit Management (HBI), a nonprofit academic center whose mission is to improve the leadership and effectiveness of nonprofit organizations through education, research and service.

Many students from other masters and doctoral programs have added coursework in public or nonprofit administration to enhance their degrees.
