In an article from the University of Georgia, a professor explains why nonprofit management courses and programs are springing up, and why their graduates are doing very well in the nonprofit job market.

Dr. Tom Holland points out that:

• There are 97 schools in the country that offer graduate courses in managing nonprofits, and only six schools that offer a full degree.
• In the nonprofit sector there is a "huge labor force gap," with a 60 percent increase in demand over supply of trained managers.
• The management shortfall is due to both the rapid expansion of the nonprofit sector, and the large number of managers who will retire soon.
